We started off the year with a bear turn-taking activity, giving the children the chance to share what they\u2019d done over the holidays. We also had plenty of free play activities such as playdough and a well-stocked kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>In the maths area, we started with counting and sequencing by size using the counting bears and number fans. But as the term got underway, some of the children showed an interest in numerals and shapes, so our latest maths activity challenges them to form shapes from pipe cleaners. This is great for coordination and strengthening hand muscle, as is our colour-matching peg activity, where they clip each peg to its matching colour spot on a disc.<\/p>\n<p>Our Books of the Week so far have been the much-loved \u2018The Gruffalo\u2019 by Julia Donaldson and \u2018Someone Bigger\u2019 by Jonathan Emmett, which reminds us that even if we\u2019re small, we still have something to offer!<\/p>\n<p>We are still hoping for our visit from the Oral Health Educator, but this is Covid-dependent. In the meantime, we\u2019re looking forward to activities based around the themes of Chinese New Year, Valentine\u2019s Day and the Winter Olympics. We\u2019ll also be talking about emotions and being kind during Children\u2019s Mental Health Week, with the help of \u2018The Colour Monster\u2019 book.
