Little Learners

Over the past two weeks, our little learners have been immersing themselves in the much-loved story The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We have enjoyed reading the story many times, helping the children to build their listening skills, recall and confidence with familiar language. Through a variety of hands-on experiences, the children have been recreating parts of the story using playdough, drawing and imaginative play, allowing them to retell the story in their own way and deepen their understanding.

Alongside this, we have been focusing on play-based learning to strengthen both fine and gross motor skills. The children have been developing their fine motor control through threading, drawing, and hands-on activities, while also building strength, coordination and confidence through active outdoor play. It has been wonderful to see their skills grow as they explore, create and learn through play.
