📖 SuperWorm 📖Room 2 children have had a super week immersing themselves in lots of activities relating to the book of the week, ‘SuperWorm’. They have enjoyed working as a team to explore the garden, looking for bugs using tick lists and pencils to mark off the insects they have found; the worms were the most popular find 👀. The children have been very creative making superworms from playdough or out of socks, decorating them how they like and being very proud of them. They have been practising lots of mathematical skills and using their fine motor skills to make long or short worms, including threading colourful pasta onto different lengths of string. ...
