Wishy Washy Day

This week Room 4 have been reading the Big Book Wishy Washy Day. 

Today we painted the Characters from the story. 

Come into class to see the finished products. 




Get set go !!!



On Thursdays we go to GET SET GO with Room 3. We are learning to balance. You need to look at something that is still, don't wobbly your head and use aeroplane arms.
 





























We played tiggy,  mountains and valleys and Green light Red light. It was lots of fun.

Body Parts


This week Room 4 have been learning how to draw themselves correctly. This shows their how aware they are of their body and also where their mid point is. It is also a reflection on their motor skills, as the more aware they are of their body the more they can manipulate and move it.  


Please encourage your child to be independent when dressing and doing manipulative tasks to do with their body. Also hop, skip, jump and gallop and move with them to get them aware of their center of gravity and left and right side of their bodies. 



We have been learning about ourselves, how to draw our body correctly and make it look like a real person. We have to include all our body parts.

Today I was colouring in. There has to be no white bits and we have to stay inside the lines. Because we have to become experts. We were practicing colouring in and cutting neatly and along the line.
