Spring 2
Our writing opportunities in Pre school whereby the children are practising their Literacy skills and fine motor development.
After stay and pray we spent time in the “ Peace Garden” allowing us time to reflect, pray and share some calm time - as Jesus did when he spent 40days in the desert.
We began our session by moving around to the sound of the drum keeping in time with the beat. Then we explored different ways of balancing the beanball on our body parts. Our focus was to practise throwing the bean bags into a target. We discussed aiming, and explored ways in which to throw the object effectively. The children were great at listening and following instructions, confident at finding a space and showing awareness of others.
Our learning is all about SHARING this term and you can see the children practicing these skills in their play whilst in the outdoor classroom. They can share resources and are beginning to turn take. They are communicating their thoughts and ideas to each other, It was beautiful to observe the engaging learning taking place.
Our focus book is “ Sharing a shell” the children have listened to the story attentively and were able to recall key events from the book. Some children are beginning to use the key vocabulary scuttle, shelter, Bristle worm, tentacle and hermit crab linked to the story. We have explored the water and sand play to remind us where the story is set ( at the seaside) The children have been very creative and created their own rock pools using a variety of collage resources and art medians.
