Week 5

This week we have had lots of fun with sensory play. We have explored filling and emptying different sized containers with pasta. We used cornflour gloop to explore mark making and also enjoyed watching it change from something quite hard to something runny. Outside, we have  enjoyed exploring the water tray and water toys, we have been pouring and filling buckets. The children shared the water table with their friends. This week we have also done some painting, using our hands to make prints and enjoyed some bubbles.

We have been working hard on our communication skills over the past couple of weeks. To choose our favourite items we have been using photo's and making choices between two objects. When we were doing our painting, the children made choices between colours. At breakfast time, we are using photos to help us choose what we would like to eat. Alongside the photos we also practice signs with the children, we have been practising 'more' and some of the children have begun to use it independently. 

Our class trip was this week and the children were very good. They all enjoyed exploring the cinema screen and watching the film for brief periods of time wherever they were comfortable. Lots of the children enjoyed looking at the lights and listening to the noises in the screen. We then came back to school for our dinner.

We love being outside and this week have spent some time with Dougie outside, as well as exploring the equipment and having fun with bubbles.
