We have now completed three full weeks into our new term where almost all of our children are beginning to settle into the ECC routine. Almost all parents/carers have had the opportunity to meet with key workers to complete care and planning plans. If you haven’t had this opportunity then please see your child’s key worker as soon as possible

The learning that has taken place within the playroom has been rhyming words and nursery rhymes.  The children have had the opportunity to role play their favourite nursery rhymes using puppets, story spoons, dressing up. They have been creative using dough and cutters leading towards rhymes  such as twinkle twinkle little star or 5 little ducks went swimming. Within the creative area the children continue to explore a wide range of collage and paints  enabling them to express themselves creatively.

Our numeracy focus this month is MNU: EXPLORING NUMBERS, UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY REPRESENT QUANTITIES AND ICAN USE THEM TO COUNT CREATE SEQUENCES AND DESCRIBE ORDER. Children have the opportunity to use the resources in our numeracy area allowing them to explore this concept and challenge themselves too.

Outdoors has been super busy due to the dry weather and the interest here has been building humpty dumptys  wall using construction blocks. Exploring the rhyme Miss polly using dolls and doctors equipment encouraging sharing and an opportunity to build relationships. Towards the end of the week children used paint and chalk to represent the song “I can sing a rainbow”.
