As the week went on the playdoh turned chocolate coloured. It was just perfect for making monsters. They had lots of eyes and legs.

We have lovely books in school. Teacher asks us to find pictures in the books. We talk about what we see.

We did a lot of talking about colours. We used construction toys to make flowers in the garden.

BeFunky Collage - Gears

Marble Run was a very popular activity. Again we talked a lot about colours. We used playdoh balls instead of marbles because teacher thinks that is safer.

We had another chance to talk about colours when we played the fishing game. We also learned about plurals. You say ‘one fish’ but you also say ‘two fish’ or ‘lots of fish’.

We talked about birthdays and how old we are. We practised ‘fine motor skills’ using candles and holders. Sadly the ‘cake’ was polystyrene!
