This week in Reception the children have had an exciting settling in week. The children have practised their fine motor skills using tweezers, pompoms and beads to sort objects. The children have been using glo-doodle to create self-portraits using the iPads. Outside, they have thoroughly enjoyed the sunshine and made large-scale buildings with wooden blocks. They created large towers, houses and even race cars to move around!
