ourselves

This week at playschool we have been doing welly printing. A fun activity that encourages children to take turns putting on a pair of wellys, standing in a tray of paint, then walking onto a huge piece cardboard to see what their footprints look like and how big or small steps they can take. Then we diversified and did hand prints, then on to using toy cars wheels and even some leaf prints on there too! The children then made the sheet of cardboard into a den with a door -with lots of negotiation and clear communication developing.
We have been out in the village collecting conkers –which was great fun – sorting into different sizes. Looking at growth and the seasons  – with some still in the shell – some green –some brown.
The children are having great fun with the new balance bikes and scooters – which help to develop their balance and co-ordination.
