Nature watch can you find?

       Stinging nettles
       Wild honeysuckle
       a Caterpillar on a leaf
       dropped feathers from birds moulting
       Flying ants

This week our giddy Ranger Steve is setting up an assault course (from his time in the military!) .
Conversations involve one person speaking while the other listens, and then the other person speaking, while the first listens.  Any game that involves taking turns helps to develop this skill:
There will be only one of each obstacle, we will listen while Ranger Steve explains how to move over or under the obstacle, then we will get the chance to try this one at a time.  

During snack time we take turns in approaching the lovely Marina who has sourced some lush blueberries for snack time. Marina will say 'your turn' and then offer us a small cup of blueberries we can either respond 'yes please' or 'no thank you' (or I prefer biscuits don't you know!)

We will be reading 'Oi Frog'  for this we will talk about the character of the frog and develop an action and sound that the children can join in with.  I will then emphasise the name of the character each time he is mentioned and allow the children to join in.

These activities are supported by the 'I Can' range from the Children's Communication Charity section Toddler Talk.

See you on Monday
