As I am writing this blog I am enjoying the lovely smell of banana bread cooking in the oven. The children have enjoyed chopping and mashing the bananas with different implements. I am now waiting for a piece to arrive on my desk.
We have been busy again this week and  have been focusing on working together and being kind to our friends. The children have to share their space with lots of other children and sometimes they find this hard. Sitting next to someone, sharing a toy, talking to each other. Things we take for granted do not always work for 3 and 4 year olds. We always encourage the children to respect each other and we support their use of appropriate age related language. While we are doing this we are going to introduce some basic Makaton signs for them to use. This will help all the children with communication and language  as verbal language can sometimes be a barrier. I will be putting up some signs on the door next week. These can be fun to use at home with your family.
Next week we are going to be playing lots of games that support communication and language. We are also going to be making some sandwiches and having a picnic towards the end of the week.
Have a great weekend.
