Outside, the children explored a themed tuff tray filled with activities linked to the book. They practised their fine motor skills by using tweezers to pick up buttons and developed their mathematical thinking by counting and sorting socks, just like Granny hanging out the washing. They also enjoyed setting up a tea set, pouring tea like Dad, and counting cups, plates, and teapots. Inspired by the baby’s sisters, the children used their counting skills while catching fish and solving number challenges. Also the children have been using the large wooden blocks to build their own house.

The children have also been using viewfinders to take a closer look at the illustrations in the story, helping them notice details and encouraging discussion about their favourite pictures. They then enjoyed drawing scenes from the book and sharing their ideas with their friends.

Using their creativity and knowledge of the primary colours, the children made their own telescopes and explored the environment from a different perspective, developing their observation skills and curiosity about the world around them.

Inside, the children continued to challenge their mathematical skills through a tuff tray activity where they counted people into houses and matched the correct numerals to the number of objects they had counted. This helped develop their number recognition, counting, and one-to-one correspondence skills.

It has been wonderful to see the children so engaged with the story and using their literacy, maths, creative, and fine motor skills through a variety of hands-on learning experiences linked to Peepo. We are very proud of their enthusiasm and the fantastic learning they have shown throughout the week! 😊📚✨
