Numeracy is included in all areas of the setting and this week we saw the bairns using a pack of playing cards in various ways.  They used the cards for matching, sorting, number recognition, ordering and colour recognition.

Our sand pits are always very popular and this week the bairns have used them to make sandcastles, tracks, construction sites and we’ve had a group of contractors digging up electric cables to fix the internet!  Not only does sand offer sensory benefits, it’s also great for transporting, moulding and finding out how it changes by adding water and digging.

We had our final week at gym.  The bairns used their gross motor skills and built on their cognitive connections, showing their growing confidence.  As soon as the bairns got into the hall they jumped onto the rope swings.  They showed perseverance, trying the apparatus numerous times and getting more adventurous.
