Every Wednesday we explore new sounds and words in a range of different play contexts.  We are learning to become increasingly independent at doing this.  Today our activities included: bingo, glittery g’s, roller paint, shaving foam, mini whiteboards, the story corner and writing.  We also spend some time with Mrs Duncan doing our reading books.

We used roller paints to write our tricky words today.

We also learned how to correctly form the letter ‘g’ by making glittery green g’s.  We found it quite tricky correctly forming this letter.  Please help your child with this if you notice them struggling at home. We call the letter g ‘a caterpillar letter’.  We do the curly c caterpillar first before going straight to the top, then following the path back down and doing a naughty kick.  Your child should be able to do this if they are reminded.  You could try getting them to draw the letter in the air, on your back, in a tray of flour or on a steamy mirror or window.
