Every day in Busy Bees we work on our gross motor skills to prepare us for writing. Since September we have been doing an activity called Dough Disco which involves us getting a ball of playdough, putting on some loud music and having a boogie whilst doing finger and hand exercises with the playdough. This term we are have started Squiggle While You Wiggle two days a week. We pick a song and first practise the movements on a big scale using scarves, ribbons or pompoms. After this, we replay the song, lie on our tummies with paper in front and use both hands to make the same marks on the paper. Yesterday we did this for the first time and we loved it! Some of us even had a go at making our new movements outside later in the day, hanging over the swing!
