We love playing with dough in Primary 1!

Dough play is so beneficial to our fine motor, finger and hand strength and our imaginations and creativity.

Today, after a dough disco the class wanted to make ‘s’ with our playdough as it is our first phonics sound. We used our fingers to roll the dough long before creating the shape of a ‘s’, the class began suggesting words that have the ‘s’ sound in them.

We ended our dough time with a dough challenge, to make an item or a character and to create a story around them. We had a super hero snail, a snowman from the North Pole who was confused when it was Christmas, a unicorn in search of a chocolate factory and even a Mrs Sjoberg who was looking for her lost class. Lots of positive listening and talking skills as well as a whole lot of fun.
