Class of 2025!
2025 Graduation! What a wonderful year we have had with you all. We wish you all the best on your next adventure at big school!

We have been using our fine motor skills to mark make, use scissors and create pictures.

Following a child's interest in farm animals we created a tuff tray for all children to explore. We had great discussions about what animals live on the farm and the different crops that a farmer might grow and the different jobs they do. We had some great imagination from children sharing their ideas. The children decided to add diggers to the tray and extend this further with digging and exploring ways to transport the soil around.

We have been enjoying some arts and crafts. This child chose to do some sticking at the creation station and is using good hand eye co-ordination skills to use the glue spreader for her picture.

We have recently been discussing healthy eating and what we need to ensure we grow up big and strong. We looked at different fruit and vegetables we enjoy eating. We also played a game of matching the different fruits and vegetables together. Great communication skills here whilst chatting to our peers.

We have really enjoyed celebrating Fathers Day this year. We welcomed our Dads, Grandads and special grown ups in to celebrate with us. We spent time together doing various activities.

We have enjoyed getting out to the farm to see some of the animals!

Having fun filling and emptying containers in the water play area.

Moulding playdough is excellent for developing children’s fine motor skills. Children develop their finger muscles by moulding playdough with their hands to help gain proper finger control all before they can to begin to learn how to write.
Children mould, flatten, squish, pinch, break and roll the substance. To develop fine motor control with playdough even further, give your child extra utensils to play with such as cutters, a rolling pin or things to add to the playdough such as pipe cleaners or sticks and leaves.

Getting out and about, exploring our environment!
