Here's what we've been up to this week...
Literacy
We have continued to focus on our mark making skills and have been learning to write our names this week using dotted lines as a guide.
This week in the library, we shared the story 'One Mole Digging a Hole' to further develop the children's understanding of rhyming words. The children looked at the following rhyming pairs:
snake and rake
bear and pear
bee and tree
This focus is part of our preparation for learning Phonics in F3.
Physical Development
In the splash pool on Monday, the children practised immersing their heads in the water for a few seconds, blowing bubbles and kicking their legs.
In the big playground, the children continue to learn different ways of moving including jumping up, jumping forwards, hopping, making side steps and tiptoeing. I also challenged the children to practise balancing on one leg for 5 seconds.
In the gym, the children played 'What's the time, Mr Wolf?' 'Duck, Duck, Goose' and moved around an obstacle course we had set up.
Focus Groups
I continued to focus on prepositional language with the children including on, in, in front of, behind, next to, between and under. Ms Precious focused on listening skills including rhyming words and Ms Clarissa shared the story 'When Sophie Gets Really Really Angry...'. The children made suggestions for how Sophie could stay calm.
Other Areas
In our role play area, lots of children have been exploring a 'Use Me' box which contained amongst other things capes, masks, bags, scarves, a pair of sunglasses and a pair of boots. This has led to lots of interesting conversations amongst the children and we will be sitting in groups next week to discuss their interests in these objects further
