Star of the week this week was SunLee for being such a great listener! Thank you to everyone who has taken Ted home so far, he has had lots of fun. We really like looking through the pictures of his adventures with you. This weekend Ted went shopping with SunLee and watched the dancing fountain show!
We've been focusing on our fine motor skills this week with lots of activities to strengthen our hands and give fingers a work out. Sand is always very popular with the class and they enjoyed building paths and feeding areas for the safari animals. Some of the children used lollypop sticks to practise their prewriting skills, drawing circles and lines in the sand.
We are beginning to feed ourselves!
The class loved using the syringes to spray the animals. We practised our animal vocabulary as well as our hand- eye coordination with a game of ready, aim, fire!
We made a giant map and glued houses, trees and other buildings on to it. We built a road through the middle of our city and drew pictures of cars, dinosaurs and our friends too.
We experimented with texture by making "ghost mud" The children used their senses to explore the smell and feel of soap flakes before adding water and mixing it into a bubbly, creamy paste. We had fun tearing up lots of tissue paper to squish into the soapy paste and gradually added more water until we ended up with sticky mouldable consistency to play with.
