Room 29 has had a wonderful start to the year, engaging in lots of play-based learning experiences alongside of all our new friends. While it has been tiring for many of our children as they begin their first year of fulltime school, we have had an amazing first few weeks.

Streamed literacy sessions have begun, and we have been reading “Hippo has a Hat”, which has loads of different animals wearing various items of clothing and it’s been so much fun to dress up the different characters as we read the book together.

During health we have been taking advantage of the hot weather to practice our personal hygiene skills, washing toys, gloves that have been painted and enjoying the cool water while we do so. The class has also explored the school grounds, becoming familiar with areas they may not have spent much time in before where they have found a few new exciting play areas.

Fun Friday’s have also started again with loads of messy play and opportunities to hone social skills with several other classes. We look forward to sharing more of our experiences next time!!
