This week it has been so sunny and actually really warm in the sunshine so we have enjoyed being outside after being cooped up for the past week.

We have had lots of gross motor activities going on to support the children with this aspect of their development, without them even realising that they are doing ‘learning’! Using big paintbrushes and water to paint the chalk wall clean, riding bikes and scooters, using the building bricks to be like a builder to make a front door and lots more!

The children have been making mud pies in one of our flower beds so may come home with some mud splattering! Please do send a spare pair of trousers/socks if you know your child is likely to spend time in messy play!
