Summer Term Week 7

We had a very eventful start to our week with our Ofsted Inspection! Flo was lovely and thank you to everyone who chatted to her in the queue and send in messages and comments on Tapestry, we felt very proud indeed reading what you had written and listening to Flo when she gave us her feedback at the end of a very long day! We have to wait until the report is published which can take up to 30 working days which is a long time! We hope to have a draft report through in 18 working days and we will be looking forward to reading Flo’s comments.

A busy week with home visits and school stay and play sessions and we will be talking to the children about moving to Primary School now, we don’t start that too early as it can be unsettling as it is such a long time until September! This week we will be talking about lots of skills we need for school in our circle times.

We enjoyed our Costa role play working on building fine and gross motor strength and confidence to use new vocab and role play.

On the astro we laid out a lovely new musical play area – a new idea where we explore sounds with the children, copying and matching and repeating the sounds they make and use different items to make music such as junk modelling and blocks and large drums!

We also spent our circle times learning about the caterpillar and butterfly life cycle with lots of different activities and looking at our caterpillars – they are growing very quickly!

Our theatre role play inside was amazing too, some incredible performances and dancing, I will try and find some to load onto Tapestry for you to see as the children loved being recorded and watching themselves afterwards! Lots of independence with dressing up and finding shoes and putting the clothes away at the end of each session.
