Chalk Drawings<\/strong><\/p>\n

The children have been exploring early writing skills by engaging in a variety of mark making activities. \u00a0They have enjoyed making marks and drawing pictures with their friends outside using chalk.<\/p>\n

“Ears help me to hear things.”<\/p>\n

“We need eyes to see.”<\/p>\n

“I smile when I feel happy.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
