Nursery: What is your favourite sandwich filling?

This week in Nursery, the children have been making their own sandwiches. They were very proud of themselves when they were able to do this independently. They drew their own shopping lists (giving very good meanings to their marks) and some of the children attempted to write the initial phonemes for the ingredients that they wanted. They then read their shopping lists to select the ingredients that they needed. They then made their own sandwiches spreading the butter, slicing ingredients and then cutting the sandwiches into different shapes. We had many conversations during this time talking about how one sandwich can be cut into two, three or four smaller sandwiches.

We also had our first Early Birds sessions this week where lots of parents joined us to partake in different fine motor activities to develop their children’s finger muscles to be ready for writing.
