We held our first stay and play for our new starts this week. It was lovely having parents in the setting, discovering their bairn’s favourite places to play. Plenty of exploring took place from the playdoh station to the polycrub and everywhere in between.
It was time to clear some of the vegetables from the polycrub. One of the bairns had a great idea that we could put the big leaves to the mud kitchen. We’ll look forward to some delicious creations! Our Honesty Cupboard has been stocked up again with tomatoes, tatties, eggs, garlic and cabbage.
We always provide a variety of ways that the bairns can develop their fine motor skills. These activities are free choice and help to build the muscles required for writing later. Environmental print is a great way to introduce bairns to letter recognition.
