Adventurers - Skill of the Week

Each week Adventurers are learning a new skill. Please enjoy practising these at home. 

Leaf collecting! Please practise using your pincer fingers to pick up leaves carefully. This helps strengthen the small muscles in our hands and fingers, which is perfect for improving coordination and control.
Skill of the Week - Pincer Grip 

'Peeling'. Peeling fruit is good for fine motor skills because it requires precise movements of fingers and hands to grip, pinch and pull the peel, which strengthens hand muscles and improves dexterity. This action also enhances hand-eye coordination as your child must visually guide their hands to manipulate the peel effectively. 

Skill of the Week - Peeling

This activity of scrunching and un-scrunching paper may seem very simple, but it’s power-packed with benefits for your little one! 🌟

 It helps strengthen fine motor skills, enhances hand-eye coordination, and improves bilateral coordination as children use both hands to work simultaneously. Plus, it’s a fun way to boost sensory exploration and keep their minds engaged.

 Please, do give this quick and easy activity a try with your little ones and watch them enjoy the learning process through play!  Please send us photos or videos.

This week we would love for the children to practise the skill of threading. We've been using ribbon and pasta in class, but there are lots of simple ways to try this at home. You could thread Cheerios onto string or dried spaghetti, use beads if you have them, or try any other creative threading materials you have handy.
