This week we have continued our All About Me topic talking about our favourite things. We have also focused on the book of the week: The Tiger who came to tea and we also:

• talking about our weekend at circle time
• singing songs and nursery rhymes
• reading the tiger who was angry and talking about our feelings and reinforcing our playgroup rules
• encouraging the children to describe and talk about their artwork
• lots of listening games
• using real money to do money rubbing pictures and talking about their value
• number puzzles and games
• enjoyed animal action stories and songs and pretended to be animals
• using buckets and wooden planks outside to create structures and balance
• made tea on our tuff tray tea table
• designing teapots
• made sensory bottles
• painted tiger patterns
• painting with tiger colours
• phonics - matching letter bean bags to cards and also objects to letter cards *matching initial letter sounds to pictures

As usual the weekly blog represents a snapshot of what most of the children participate in during the week. Please speak to your child's key person if you would like to have further information about your child's interests and progress. You are welcome to ask your key person for feedback at any time and book a time to have a meeting for feedback on how your child is progressing. Hoping you all have a lovely weekend.

Best wishes, Julia, Grace, Sharon, Lisa, Hannah and Amy
