We’ve had such a magical week in Maple Class full of exploration inspired by our new friend, Billy the Puppet, and his exciting trip to the beach! The children loved listening and experiencing the sensory story and Billy helped encourage some wonderful communication. The children really enjoyed seeing the waves , touching the sea urchins and touching the jellyfish . In our continuous provision, the children enjoyed: - Colouring in starfish using pasta, exploring textures and patterns and practising fine motor skills. - Matching fish to colours. - Matching shapes on a jellyfish, supporting shape recognition and problem-solving skills. Maple class enjoyed choosing their own healthy snacks at Asda this week ,practising independence by placing items into the trolley themselves. Our swimming session this week was super ! Everyone showed amazing progress – from splashing and kicking to building their confidence in the water. Maple class have had such a busy week , from Maple .
