Rainbow Unit Weekly Update

Class: Rainbow Unit Year: 2023 - 2024

What a lovely week we have had this week. The children have enjoyed using the new slide that we have in our sensory room. They have been exploring different ways to use it, they have been sliding down it, climbing up it, sliding down on the tummies and of course, balancing things in it. During our morning session, we have started using hand puppets and singing some counting songs such as 5 little ducks and 5 speckled frogs. Some of the children have taken an interest in this activity, they have come over and at times even touched the glove. We have continued to explore looking at ourselves using various mirrors and the children are noticing different parts of their bodies, such as their eyes and their feet. During our afternoon session we explored our senses using sticky, edible mud. All of the children were curious by this and each of them all came over to look it and even had a little touch. This week, we have seen amazing progress during snack time as some of the children are now using the core board to request more snack. This is something that we are incredibly proud of the children for doing as it is new way that they are communicating their needs to us.
