We have started Dough Disco! This is where each child has a ball of dough and we use our fingers to manipulate the dough to give our fingers a bit of a work out. This is all to music and the aim is to strengthen our muscles to prepare our hands for writing. The children have all joined in really well and seem to be enjoying dough disco! If you've got playdough at home then get your child to show you what we do!

We have been continuing to baseline the children to see what they know so that we know what we need to teach.  We will be continuing with this next week.

We have been having a daily story with our snack. The children have really enjoyed seeing what the daily story will be.

We have been doing some fine motor work where the children go over a dotted line to make different patterns each day. This is to help them develop their pencil control skills.  We have been supporting the children with their tripod grip and using the phrase 'nip, flip and grip'.

You should have all had an email about our phonics/curriculum session on Monday 5th October at 2pm in the school hall.   Please sign up for this event, it will be lovely to see you all.

 

Have a great weekend.
