Indoors we are looking at the four modes of transport; road, air, sea and rail. This week we have focussed on road transport and began creating tally and bar charts to find out how the children travel to the ECC. Some children created their own stories after expressing interest in books. We will continue to develop this in exploring initial sounds and letter formation.
