Our young learners have had a wonderfully creative week exploring patterns in all sorts of exciting ways. The children loved experimenting with potato printing, discovering how patterns are made and designing their own repeating sequences. We’ve also been spotting patterns everywhere through food, games, transient art, and our everyday play.

To support early writing skills, we’ve been strengthening our fine motor muscles with lots of hands‑on activities such as chopping, spraying, and threading. These experiences help build the control and coordination children need as they begin their writing journey.

In our construction area, the children have been using Lego to design and build different types of transport. Their imagination has been fantastic, and they’ve enjoyed sharing their ideas and talking about how things work.

Over in the Smartboard area, we’ve taken time to focus on our wellbeing. The children have been listening to mindfulness videos and calming music, practising how to settle their minds and give their bodies a moment to rest and reset—helping them feel ready for more learning and play.
