Sian's House

10/09/2026

Let’s welcome Baby Bertie, but as the week has gone on he’s now called Bertie the Bruiser !!!

We went and found some puddles to jump in , they wern’t terribly impressive , but we had a lovely walk .

We then came home and had the musical instruments out followed by ‘Rhyme Time’

As the week went on we pulled out the jigsaws - these were too tricky last time we looked at them but with a little patience and concentration we got there and the children were terribly chuffed with their individial persistance.

I was very proud of the way the children ‘looked after and cared for ‘Bertie the Bruiser, and helped him to ease into Sian’s House in the only way they have been shown ….kindness , sharing and looking after each other

And that’s a wrap ……
Luna and Margot off you go to school.
It’s been wonderful to watch you both grow from babies of 9 months to children of 4 years old along with a great friendship .

Being able to be part of this journey is always a privilege ,
Watching your first steps , words, likes, dislikes along with good times, funny times sad times and crazy times have been an honour.

Too much for me to go through the ‘learning through EYFS .
But I can assure you,all the children learnt something from the activities we have achieved on the last couple of weeks, be it colours , Counting , sharing , mixing colours , and if they didn’t ? They had fun through play !!!!

Cooking - how to crack an egg ( where does an egg come from )

What’s heavier?

Hot or cold ?

Soft or hard ?

In the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), cutting skills are vital for developing a child's fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, and bilateral coordination (using both hands together). Mastering these skills is a progressive journey that builds the foundational hand strength required for future writing and classroom tasks.The 4 Pillars of Cutting DevelopmentBefore focusing on what a child cuts, early years practitioners look for these physical and cognitive characteristics:Bilateral Coordination: The ability to use the "helping hand" to hold and turn the paper while the dominant hand opens and closes the scissors.Hand-Eye Coordination: Visually tracking a line while guiding the scissors smoothly along it.Grip & Strength: Developing the muscle strength in the wrist, hands, and fingers to repeatedly open and close scissors.Finger Isolation: Using the thumb, index, and middle fingers for grasping while keeping the other fingers still.
