Following the sensory interests of the bairns, there was plenty of opportunity to experience messy play with shaving foam, gloop and slime-making.  The bairns described it feeling soft like custard!  There are many benefits of sensory play including supporting brain development, adapting to new situations, awareness of the space around them, fine motor skills and language development.

The bairns were back to gym this week, exploring the equipment and it was clear that their confidence had grown.  Whilst assessing their own risk, the bairns were keen to explore.  Risky play supports self-esteem and resilience.

The bairns were keen to learn about Pudsey and took part in Pudsey yoga, Pudsey dancing and Pudsey Says (based on Simon Says).  There was lots of great movement, building on gross motor skills and an opportunity for rich discussions including Pudsey’s important job to help lots of families.
