SEPTEMBER 2024
AUGUST ROUND UP
Through the month of August, the children here at RLO have really enjoyed taking part in jigsaws.
Allowing a child to take part in a jigsaw helps children to work on fine motor skills, hand and eye coordination, problem solving and cognitive skills. This has also helped the children at RLO to start learning about teamwork. This helps with sharing, turn taking and communication.
Responsive Planning - This is acknowleding childrens intrests through play and identifing room for improvement and development.
Every Friday all staff take part in a planning meeting to discuss the childrens interests from that week which then helps us plan the following weeks activites.
PLEASE let us know if there is anything your child is interested in or anything specifically you’d like us to work on with your little one.
We would love you to get to know our RLO team so scroll down to see a day in the life of…. ORLA our Room Leader.

09:15am - This is when I start all the admin work that is due to be completed for the day.
