This week in the Home Room we\u2019ve been very busy! The children enjoyed dancing and dressing up, using their imaginations and having lots of fun together. We also did some muffin making and practised our number skills through different activities. It\u2019s been a wonderful week full of creativity, learning and smiles!<\/p>\n

in our baking area, the children have been busy making muffins and developing lots of important skills along the way. They have been practising measuring, counting and carefully following a recipe. It has been lovely to see some of the children confidently taking on the role of the adult, helping to guide their friends and supporting them step by step as the work together to follow the recipe.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust a little bit.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI think we need a little more.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In our story corner, the children have been confidently using their technology skills to scan QR codes to listen to and watch some of our favourite stories. They have really enjoyed choosing stories independently and using the technology to bring the books to life. It\u2019s been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they explore stories in this exciting way.<\/p>\n

We enjoyed playing \u2018Spin the Wheel\u2019, where the children practised their subitising skills by quickly recognising how many spots they could see and matching the quantity to the correct number. The children had lots of fun taking turns and building their confidence with numbers through this game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have that number.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
\u201cWhat number is it going to be?\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The children also loved challenging themselves in our \u2018Number Hunt\u2019. They searched carefully to find the numbers before the timer ran out, showing great focus and determination. Some of the children even challenged themselves further by reducing the time with each attempt to see if they could beat their previous record!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\u201cI can beat the timer!\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
\u201cI bet I can do it in one minute!\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Finally, the children have loved exploring the dressing up clothes in our home corner. They enjoyed creating imaginative scenarios, pretending to be different characters and showing off their dance moves in their wonderful outfits. It has been lovely to see their creativity and confidence shine as they play together.
