What a lot going on this week!

EXPLORING LIGHT, COLOUR AND REFLECTION
 Inside the dark tent children spent a great deal of time looking very closely at objects.

 The mirrors fascinated the children, and there was a lot of gazing at themselves!

PRACTISING NUMBER SKILLS
 Matching numerals was fun as the children "fed" them to the animals.

 Counting accurately all the number 8s.

 There were also opportunities to order numerals.

FANTASTIC FIREWORKS ART


 Superb hand eye coordination and control - not one bead escaped onto the floor!

INVESTIGATING SOUNDS OUTDOORS
Tuning into sounds is really important for children in their development towards hearing sounds in words when they begin to learn to read.
This activity stimulated lots of discussion about differences in the sounds heard on different surfaces.




Next week looks like it is going to be exciting too - Pudsey Bear is on his travels...
