The children were all eager to draw and write this week and they explained all the marks they had made on their giant pictures - some were patterns, others had red warning lines, others had sunshine and circles.
Every child had a go at copying their name, and all are making great progress in becoming more aware of lines and shapes that are used to form letters.
We've also had lots of fun with "Squiggle whilst you wiggle!" We moved to the "Happy" song, with flipper flappers making different shapes and in different directions and then practised some movements with pens on the paper.
These activities support the children's balance, muscle tone, grip and finger movements and lead on to early writing skills.
STILL BUSY PREPARING FOR CHRISTMAS
Presents to be wrapped and trees to be decorated!
The Nativity story continues to create lots of interest and discussion. It is so pleasing to hear the children retelling the story and remembering key events and character names. The angel has travelled far and wide this week!!
We perform our lower school Nativity next week! The children have made star hats and have done so well in learning the songs!
