Last week the Yellow, Orange and Purple group went over to the Pavilion to take part in a BookBug session. When they were there the children used puppets to sing songs and they read the story “Henrietta’s First Winter”. This week the Blue, Green and Red group will get the opportunity to take part in a BookBug session. Keep an eye out for the BookBug sticker on your child!  

This week the children have been working on their fine motor control. They have been doing various activities to strengthen the muscles in their hands. One of the activities was threading, where the children had to thread pasta and cut up straws onto wool to make a very stylish necklace.

This week the children were investigating how water can change from one form to another. The children collected ice from outside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The children then brought the ice inside to see what would happen to it. Using their observation skills (and lots of touching) they watched as the ice began to melt.
