MORE PUPPET FUN...
There were lots more puppet performances this week.
Some children made their own bird puppets which flew high above the curtains!
One child decided to make tickets for everyone to see the show and cut out and handed them out. She insisted "You can't watch the show if you haven't got a ticket!"
OPPORTUNITIES TO DEVELOP NUMBER SKILLS
Simple skittles resources were a great activity for having lots of fun, whilst also practising counting sets of objects, and using words such as more, not as many, none, zero.
The children also were encouraged to record their scores by making marks on the score board. This led to some healthy competition with some! We introduced the words "altogether" and "total" and asked the children to compare the numbers of marks.
In the construction area - count how many containers you used... can you add 3 more?.. how many now?
Can you find the hidden numbers?
Some of the children made up their own little games too.
A RESTAURANT APPEARED ONE DAY!
Tables were laid, customers arrived, orders were taken and delicious meals served - that's what I call service!
Just had to include this photo from the week - these two had found a very cosy hiding place during hide and seek, and looked very pleased with themselves!
