This week has been a great one once again. The children are becoming more active in exploring and discovering different learning areas.
In our investigation area, we had pasta, bowls and tweezers. Children were encouraged to use the tweezers to pick up pasta and put them in bowls. Some children opted to use spoons and pretended to cook.
In our creative area, we prepared pattern mittens, paint and paper. Most of the children tried this activity but some brilliant ideas were also shared. One child got a car and used it to make wheel patterns on his paper. On the other hand, one child asked for paintbrushes and painted pictures on her paper.
In our 'Funky Fingers' table, we put out corks in trays, jars and tongs to develop children's fine motor skills. They were encouraged to get as much corks as possible and fill the jars with the use of the tongs. This activity has been popular and most of the children had a go at it.
In our maths area, we put out new sets of peg puzzles as well as 4 piece jigsaw puzzles to challenge the children.
For our circle sessions this week, we have sung lots of nursery rhymes and introduced our focus story 'Room on the Broom' by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. We introduced the characters and watched the story. Here is the link if you would like to watch it with your child: Room on the Broom
