Our sound today was 'b'

using dough to make the letter 'b'

Writing the letter in the sand.

MATHEMATICAL DEVELOPMENT. 

we looked at lots of different pattern.

We made patterns with blocks and colours predicted what would come next. 

Some patterned Rainbow Fish

Drawing their own Rainbow Fish and trying to make a pattern.

A wonderful fish by Ethan who tried hard with his blue and purple pattern.

We are going to practise making patterns as we are able to recognise them and say what's next but it's harder learning how to make them independently. 

CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT.

FINE MOTOR CONTROL DEVELOPMENT.
Miss Key takes a fine motor control group every day for the children who need to develop their skills. Today all the children had the opportunity to join in and they really enjoyed it. Here's a little video which captures the warm down at the end. Ill try and capture the dough part for you the next time they do it as its so lovely to see the children enjoying the activity.

'Dough Disco' is a fun activity which combines the use of play dough with a series of hand and finger exercises designed to improve fine muscle control. The movements develop children's fine and gross motor dexterity, hand-eye coordination and self-esteem.

Have a lovely weekend and keep practising those sounds and high frequency words! Some children will soon be moving on to reading books with words as they are working so hard at learning their sounds and words at home.
