Term 1

This week, we have welcomed lots of new faces into Plum Trees. The children have done incredibly well, settling into their new classroom and exploring all the changes to our environment and our new routine. 

During our adult-directed activities this week, we had a dough disco. The children listened beautifully to the directions and were focused throughout. We took part in lots of music and movement this week, including a number of songs from BBC sounds and the children independently choosing their own songs with our singing spoons.

This week we have been focusing on getting to know the children, working on our fine motor skills with activities such as, puzzles, multilink cubes, linking keys and making prints in playdough. In our learning environment, the children explored cutting, sticking and creating pictures using paint dabbers. We had sticklebricks, which were used to make houses, castles and towers! Whilst exploring our outdoor learning environment this week, we practised our balancing, creating meals in our kitchen area, and digging with dinosaurs in the sand.
