We have had a very exciting time playing, exploring and building our friendships. We are learning how to be more independent by putting on our own wellies and waterproofs and hanging our shoes on the welly rack. It's tricky remembering not to walk on the wet play area in just our socks!

We built sand castles together on the beach, used the tap, searched for treasure, climbed and jumped carefully from the logs and dug in the soil. 

We explored the texture of slick by combining clay and water. Mr Capps Jenner gave us some brushes to help develop our gross motor skills and core muscles....all vital for shoulder, arm and wrist movements getting us ready to write! We enjoyed the decorator rollers, large brushes to 'paint' the walls and house. We are learning to turn the tap on and off and transport water with our friends too. Many children are now skilful in squeezing the litter pickers and transporting leaves and stones. This is excellent for co-ordindation and strengthening muscles in the hands ready for writing. 

As we play we are developing our social skills, learning to share resources and wait patiently for our turn. There is so much we can talk about as we play and laugh together, developing our communication and language skills while we have fun. 

Nursery need lots more spare sock donations if you have any to give!
