February has been a very busy month for the green group. At nurture time we have been focusing on our fine motor skills.

Through simple and fun experiences such as scissor cutting, and band boards we develop dexterity and strength in our fingers. This helps us to hold a pencil and control the pressure applied when writing and drawing our self portraits.

To build on our awareness of festivals around the world we have been exploring the Chinese New Year. From watching the Dance of The Dragon to making Chinese lanterns we had lots of fun and learnt lots of new and exciting facts. We even had a Chinese inspired snack and tasted some very yummy Chinese foods.

 

In other news, our community garden is coming along quite nicely. In the coming months we will be looking for some of our grown-ups to join us, to help maintain and grow lots of exciting plants and vegetables.

Thanks for a fantastic February!

 

Love from Miss Allison and Mrs Sloan
