Hello Everyone , THE PHOTOS YOU ARE SHARING ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and being in a school without your wonderful children, the photos bring A HUGE smile to my face. I even had someone singing Our Pirate song down the telephone to me yesterday afternoon. It’s Fabulous news that you are remembering our class songs that always made us laugh together. A personal Thank you from me for your time. It means a lot to me.
So today I have a few of those lovely photos to share…You are all GREAT LEARNERS.

We have previously spoken about Baking and Cooking and identified how many skills your child is using by making their own breakfast, lunch or snack…!! These photos show their fine motor control developing as the tools are being coordinated. Beautiful learning with such a yummy end product… mmmmm.
So today’s challenges:- We have been looking at snails this week and I wondered if you could create your own spiral pattern. This is a complex skill. You can make it easier by just letting your child start as a spiral and then because it is a coordination task the spiral will turn into a scribble …but that’s fine and will happen because are muscles developing. As fine motor control develops through play the children will be able to keep controlled lines to form a spiral. All attempts are PERFECT.
Can you draw your own coloured spirals, like you see on a snails shell? If a spiral is easy… they can you create different sized snails with your spirals? Even harder……completing clockwise and anti-clockwise spirals.

I wonder if you can find a snail to look at while you draw your own spirals?
