We welcome back Claire from her honeymoon and would like to congratulate her and her new husband Steve, Claire has been showing us her photos from her wedding in Florida and we have been dressing up as brides and grooms and talking about wedding traditions.
We have had a lovely time this term in Purple Room, exploring our people who help us story books, we learnt all about Fred the Fire-fighter, Tess the teacher, Sam the Chef, Daisy the doctor and Frank the farmer. Our role plays included the Bourne Valley bistro, where we had great fun taking orders and cooking in our kitchen and our most recent the classroom where we have been discussing our new schools. We have been creating pictures on our easel and writing with different materials and enjoying many different creative activities.
We have also been very busy in our garden, we have new mats for us to use and explore different activities outside, we have enjoyed digging for worms and making mud pies! We have also planted peas, carrots and tomatoes in our vegetable patch, which I am sure we will enjoy tasting soon!
Our current theme is ‘All about me’ we have been learning about our bodies and how to look after ourselves, we have also been doing PE sessions (when the weather has allowed!) in practice for our sports day in July. We have talked about the different emergency services and how to keep safe on streets and stranger danger.
We have invited the new teachers from our ‘big’ schools to visit us in Purple Room. These have gone very well and it was lovely for the teachers to meet us and our key workers.
As we approach the summer we will be having a party week for the week commencing 21st July to say farewell to our boys and girls who are heading off to ‘big’ school, we’d like to take this opportunity to say good luck and we will miss all of the children very much as they head off on a new adventure. Out theme over the summer will be ‘At the Sea side’ and ‘Under the Sea’ and weather permitting we will get to have fun in the sun and cool down with splash days!
