Childrens House Work

Today DD2 had a busy PL day - she started with a new activity

She's worked on popping cocktail sticks into a lid full of holes before but we progressed her to pushing them into an orange - her cries of 'I did it!' when she finished really made me smile along with her running round the room showing it to everyone :)

DD4 and DD6 also thought this was too much fun to ignore and promptly borrowed it when she had finished. DD2 also chose her bottle filling (again)

her sensory bin

which morphed into a tracing activity starting with the bird templates from the sensory bin

followed by some wooden shapes

and finally a banana?!?

next she went onto fine motor skills with her marbles and golf tees

She was very pleased when she mastered the clip purse in her opening and closing basket.

and good old rug rolling.

DD4 focused on her letter r today with some pin poking

and a letter formation practice sheet (available on my download page) - as you can see there is still work to do on holding a pencil correctly.

She then moved to some sensorial work using the mini knobless cylinders

and finished with a number line (wooden numbers from 0-9 and a basket with 45 marbles for COE)

DD6 & DD8 were both busy but I'll post about their work tomorrow.
