ACTIVE LITTLE CONKERS
The children have been keeping fit climbing, balancing, stretching and jumping this week!
We had a special visitor in the play area one day! The children were surprised to see a chicken happily scratching around for food. There were lots of questions about where she had come from, was she a girl or a boy, what did she like to eat, could she fly...
As friendly as she was, and eager to join the line at going in time, we did have to distract her so that she didn't also come indoors with us!!
BOOK TIME!
This week we were excited to introduce the opportunity for the children to choose books to take home to share with family and carers. The children have really enjoyed selecting and talking about their books, and often a little group has gathered to listen in too! Already parents' feedback is very positive and older brothers and sisters are getting involved in reading the books to their younger siblings.
We have been focusing on print around us to encourage the children to understand print has meaning. It has been pleasing to see the children's interest develop over the week and they have been great at spotting letters the same, as well as naming logos.
