Welcome to our first full week in The Children’s House!! This week we’ll be continuing to settle in and reassure the children, supporting them to become familiar with their new class and routine – we will do Practical Life activities such as carrying a chair and walking on a line, pouring grain, spooning rice etc. These activities help promote gross and fine motor movement as well as spatial awareness, and develop the children’s concentration and independence.

We will be making a jobs list for the children using their photos, and develop rules for their classrooms with them. We will also make a friendship tree with the children and put all their photos on them. Lastly, we will be doing drama using the book ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ – a firm favourite!!

Clean Up Song (tune of Twinkle Twinkle)

Twinkle twinkle little star,
Time to clean up where you are!
Put the toys back in their place,
Keep a smile upon your face,
Twinkle twinkle little star,
Time to clean up where you are!
