We welcomed our special visitors from the HMie team who spent the week exploring our ECC and spending time with the children. Information from our visit will be published in due course.
INDOORS
Continuing to explore buildings using problem solving skills with a new resource of sand mixed with shaving foam, allowed children to be creative and extend the knowledge they have been building on.
Children have shown an interest through not only buildings but the construction of boats and using technology to explore further showing what lives in the sea. Next week we will continue to explore boats and the creatures of the sea.
In creative the children have been using different materials to build with junk, experimenting and investigating what sticks best. This has involved using scissors, glue sticks, pva glue, masking tape, sellotape etc.

OUTDOORS
Lots of experimenting and marking has happened outdoors. Paint and paper was used for children to explore pattern and print using their feet, looking at the different wellington boot markings. Children started using the sand+shaving foam outside before transferring the skills inside making impressive buildings. They continued to develop large motor skills using bikes and learning more about how the body moves. Children took part in ring games such as duck duck goose. New car number plates have been introduced which has created a lot of talk about recognising familiar numbers to themselves as in their age.
