Dear Wilkins
families and friends,
What a wonderful
week we have had in the classroom.
This week we have
contiuned using our different senses. We began using our sense of smell and
smelling and mixing different herbs with a Mortar and Pestle. Our Wilkins
friends enjoyed this! We then moved to touch, where Miss Courtenay made Gloop
for us. This was very slimy!
We have also had
some very busy wizards on Tuesday. Mrs Jess had set up some beautiful flower
petals, leaves and other objects in the outdoor environment which turned into
making 'Potions'. Nash and Tarika
were very busy adding things to create the perfect potion on a sunny afternoon!
To extend our
interest with arts, we have given the children a different method to create. In
the classroom we have added water painting on pavers. The children are able to
create their masterpiece and evaluate their work before it dries away!
Our Wilkins
friends have also been interested in fine motor activities. We have introduced
a pom-pom activity with tongs. The children have been very busy practicing
their fine motor skills. It has also promoted conversations with the
children including colours and sizes.
We hope you all
have a wonderful weekend,
From the
Wilkins team
