Phonics
The children will continue with Phase 1 in phonics. This week we will be listening to the sounds that different instruments make.
Expressive Arts and Design
Our role play will be Farmer Ducks Farm. The children will act out the different roles with their friends, learning to listen and respond to each other.

We will continue our Dough Gym where the children do different exercises to music to strengthen their fine motor and gross motor movements. On the Fine Motor table the children will squeeze the farm animals to squirt the water into the tray (hopefully and not at each other).
