Children in reception love the book ‘The Rainbow fish’. Together, children enjoyed our playdough session.

Playdough is a wonderful sensory and learning experience for children. As children shaped the playdough into making different sea creatures, they’re thinking creatively. The squeezing, pinching and pulling movements also strengthen children hand muscles and develop fine motor skills which is essential.

Areas children have explored:

Exploring and using media materials
-Beginning to be interested in and describe the texture of things.
-Explores what happens when they mix colours.

Being imaginative
-Chooses particular colours for a purpose
-Works alongside other children who are engaged in the same theme.

Literacy
Enjoys an increasing range of books
-Links sounds to letters, naming and sounding the letters of the alphabet.
