During the Summer term Zai’s class have been making marks with different media and tools, including messy mediums. This has supported the development of their fine motor skills.

In reception we love the sunshine and opportunities to learn whilst being outdoors. We have taken advantage of the recent nice weather and spent time using outdoor equipment to build our gross motor skills and engage in a selection of different learning activities.

The children have  been learning about farm animals and have enjoyed sharing this terms class story Old Mikamba had a Farm. They have enjoyed role play and art activities which have had a farm focus.
