Hello Everyone
I hope that you had a great day in the rain! My garden will be delighted and I am so pleased I can have an evening off water all of my plants.
I have had some wonderful phone calls with families and children today. Its lovely to hear the exciting things you are doing at home. I will continue to phone everyone else on Friday, I look forward to speaking to you all soon.
Tricky word games in the sunshine, What a lovely active idea.
I love the way that you can use paving for so many ideas:- reading words, identifying letters shapes, hopscotch, number lines …the list is endless!
I had a lovely conversation with a parent today about shaking foam finger work.. WE LAUGHED together about the mess it can make at home!.. so I thought about other activities that develop finger strength and handwriting without a pen and paper!!! I wonder if any of your children would consider making a fruit crumble handwriting work!!! 
Click here Making a Fruit Crumble info. Making fruit crumble involves lots of fine motor control skill such as chopping and rubbing. Have fun if you wish to make a crumble.
I have added a new story today and it was a brand new story for me. I like finding stories which have been read by the author. Enjoy
Have a lovely Thursday and I wonder what cooking activities you will explore together? You will all have different recipes which are your family favourites. I look forward to finding out the range of cooking ideas you all LOVE.
Keep Smiling and Enjoy your Time Together Miss Butler, Miss Breakwell and Miss Lofthouse
