You may have heard your child chatting about DOUGH DISCO, and you might have been wondering what they are talking about!
This daily exercise combines the use of play dough with a series of fun hand and finger movements designed to improve and strengthen fine muscle control and coordination, which is essential for writing.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your play dough and turn the music up and give those little fingers a work-out!
Every finger has a name...
In Maths, we have been looking at sorting objects into groups snd exploring these questions:
What is the same about all the objects in my group?
Can you find an object that belongs to my group?
Can you find one which doesn't belong?
Can you guess my sorting rule?
When we entered our classroom on Monday morning we had a very big surprise. Sat waiting for us was a silver robot, with a message.
The message asked if the robot could come to stay with us. We said "yes"!
The message also had robot writing which our teacher could not read, but luckily a few of us children know how to read robot language. It said 'I am a robot. I need new batteries'. Our teacher was amazed that we were able to read robot language - we think we will have to give her some lessons!
We wanted to write messages back to robot, here are a few of them ...
The robot was so happy with our messages that when we arrived in school the next day, there was a present waiting for us.
We decided to make some friends for our robot. Here are some of our amazing designs.
These photos are a little taster of what we have been up to in our first few weeks at Stanton school.
So, when you ask us "What have you been doing today?" and we reply "Nothing", please know that we are probably a little tired as we have been very busy.
