Some of our activities this week🎨

Health and self care routines😊

We are starting to promote the children to be independent through meal times. They enjoyed using gestures to express their preferences, they all chose their own cereal and spoon. They poured their cereal and milk with a little adult support to begin with. The children showed good can do attitudes throughout and was keen to be independent

Small group times

The children are really benefitting from small group times, these are done consistently through the week. These groups help promote communication and language skills and help build relationships between children and staff. It also helps children build friendships as they play alongside others and promotes turn taking.
