Some of the children have been exploring senses, listening to sounds around them , using their eyes to find interesting things and  exploring textures to touch using descriptive language when describing how they felt. (Rough, smooth, jaggy etc).

During a walk round the school and listening to the sounds around us the children we’re developing mindfulness, being in the present moment.

some of the children helped Isobel create a days of the week wheel to help further develop routines.
 

Another busy week in the Birch room.

This week we have had lots of Christmas fun here are some pictures….

The children have been busy this week preparing for Christmas creating things to take home . They have been exploring sensory play when choosing to play with the pretend snow.
some of the children have been taking turns throwing the ball into a tub developing their hand eye coordination.
some of the children then went on to play skittles using  cardboard tubes .

when outdoors some of the children were mark making in the ice, writing their names with their fingers and drawing pictures with sticks.

This week the children have been exploring feelings and emotions through different experiences. Most of the children also took part in a peer massage session.
