Nina Marni our all beautiful children and lovely families and welcome to our weekly blog .
Our Learning Intention 1 is to support children’s expression of ideas through our outside environment with the support of mark-making and collaborative art experiences and natural resources from our community.
Why:
- Mark making simply refers to the creation of different patterns, lines, textures and shapes.
- Mark-making is not just about early writing; it is a sensory and physical experience which can be enjoyed by all ages and abilities.
- Season change – Autumn, leaves. Natural tools with leaves, sprigs, they can collect from the garden.
- Open ended art & craft, beading, pasta – they can also make bracelets, head mask
- As well as early writing, mark-making can develop into mathematical representation and creative expression.
- Making marks enables children to develop their hand eye co-ordination and fine motor skills through practicing to hold a tool, deciding what grip suits them best, which hand feels most natural and through making small controlled movements using the tool.
- By giving children the opportunity to explore different mediums of mark making, it engages them in sensory play and allows them to discover new exciting materials.
- This helps to enhance a child’s critical thinking, brain development and language development, which gives them the ability to build towards more complex learning tasks in the future.
Our learning Intention two is to provide opportunities for the children to further develop their Gross and fine motor skills during play experiences
Why: Fine and gross Motor skills help children to navigate the world with confidence.
Children become more confident with a skill, gradually make the task smore difficult
Engage children in active activities every session where and when possible
Everyday we got the chance to visit playground ,oval and sand pit and it included in our daily programme as well and children loved it .
