Patterning

As we are outdoors enjoying the beautiful weather and engaging in winter sports, it seems fit to complete activities indoors that celebrate winter! This week (and last) was the introduction to rotational work where work for a day needs to be completed before moving on to free play.

We have been working on identifying colour and shape patterns for quite some time, but this week we finally applied our skills! After working on tricky patterns as a whole group, the children were free to create their own pattern for a winter scarf. Another group matched touqes to scarves for snowmen, and the rest played an open hand of "go fish" for quick letter retrieval (or sound).
