Actions!

We were at our weekly toddler group this morning which includes a gym session. For the first time Roly joined in with the warm up (stretching up tall, touching his toes, reaching out wide) and then gave each piece of apparatus a try too. He really enjoyed going on top of and under the parachute. Nice to see how confident he was joining in with the others, all of whom
are older than him. In the past few days he's started doing the actions of a few songs too. His current favourites are Wind the Bobbin and Wheels on the Bus.
This afternoon, Chops and I played the Junior Scrabble that he wanted to borrow from toy library. Most of the adults in the family play scrabble via iPhone and he's itching to play so he is determined to learn! It was certainly challenging for him as a lot of them were tricky words with silent letters or phonemes that we haven't covered yet. He enjoyed it though - and beat me as usual!
He also did some cutting practise with his new left handed scissors. I printed some sheets from www.twinkl.co.uk and he did the first couple. The scissors did seem to make it easier for him but then his hand got tired and he switched to his right!
