This week the children have been interested in the planets in our solar system. We have been using our imaginations to build and create rockets and developing our fine motor abilities to draw and paint pictures of the planets we know. Some of the children used the playdough to make the different planets, rolling small and large pieces to show their knowledge and understanding of the sizes of some of planets. Exploring our mathematical abilities some of the children engaged in making rocket ships using the numicon resources.

The children have been engaged in playing a variety of board games with a small group of their peers. We have observed some great turn taking and listening skills throughout the children’s play!
