On Wednesday we had great fun doing a colour hunt and we also played jumping frogs into the pond, which the children really enjoyed. On Thursday we played some lovely group games and we enjoyed exploring worms in the garden!!ll Before lunch the children loved playing with the Tappy sticks and singing while tapping out the rhythms. In the afternoon we played some parachute games and matching pairs. The children are also really enjoying posting activities at the moment.
