Fun with Play dough

 Hello Everybody 🙋

Firstly, we would like to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all of those who came on Tuesday to collect nursery work packs. Well done to you all 👏

Those of you who did collect work packs will know that this week your child was given a bag of play dough. Play dough is such a good resource for young children and can be used to support fine motor development, mathematical skills, language development and much more.

Today we are focussing on fine motor development so grab your bag of dough and get ready to DOUGH DISCO!

Grown ups make sure you are supporting your child by joining in too!

We hope you enjoyed that fine motor activity. Don't forget you can repeat it as many times as you like and the more you do the more you will be developing the muscles in your hands and fingers. We need good muscles in our hands and fingers to allow us to be able to draw and write accurately.

Some of you may not have collected packs and not have any dough but don't worry, Mr Ormsby from reception has made this easy, step by step video to help you make your own. This is a fabulous activity to do with young children and supports their understanding of measurement and capacity.

That is your task for this afternoon grown ups and children, go and make some dough and come back tomorrow when Miss Sykes will be demonstrating some counting activities you can do at home using the dough you have made.

Have Fun!
