March Newsletter Goslings Room News

What a fun filled February the Goslings have had this month! We started off by focusing on Children’s Mental Health Week where the children have enjoyed participating in mindfulness activities, such as doing yoga every day and learning different kinds of stretches we can do. The Goslings also enjoyed learning about emotions. We learnt about different kind of expressions using stories and picture books. For Valentine’s Day, the Goslings enjoyed doing lots of inspired activities, such as making Valentine’s Day cards for our loved ones! As Pablo Picasso was our inspiration for Artist of the Month, the Goslings really enjoyed bringing out their artistic skills by using different kinds of colours and cotton pads with sticks in order to create beautiful art. Alongside this, we have also enjoyed doing different kinds of sensory play in order to inspire our Goslings, such as shaving foam with paint and cornflour with conditioner to create sandy texture. Lastly, we would like to thank all parents for participating in our monthly Home Learning Challenge, the Goslings enjoyed sharing their favourite bedtime stories and Tapestry posts with their friends. Our March Home Learning Challenge will be to share a fine motor skills activity on Tapestry! Fine motor skills are those that involve the development of the small hand muscles. We enjoy fine motor skills activities in order to increase dexterity and prep their hands for larger tasks as they get older, this could be anything such as completing their favourite jigsaws puzzle!
