Playhouse Activities This Week – This week we have planted some of our sunflowers in the forest school. We have been talking about why we brush our teeth and we practised on the large tooth model. The birds have been fed and have been popping into the Playhouse for snacks. Woodwork has been very popular this week with large queues. We have also created some fantastic rockets.
Forest School – In Forest School we talked about all the bugs that we have looked at. We talked about what makes them different, comparing colours, size and how they move. We used words like wriggle, slither, bounce, jump, crawl, and fly. We made our own bugs using cones and pipe cleaners and then we tested to see how fast or slow they went down the pipes.
Playhouse Activities Next Session – After Half term we will continue to enjoy the sunshine, we will be camping and doing more woodwork. We will also enjoy a Teddies Bear picnic.
Monthly Makaton Sign – June’s Makaton sign which we are going to learn is ‘no/stop’. Please have a go at home, remember to sign and say the word together. Go slow and show.
Literacy packs – We have been handing out Literacy packs this week. Please don’t worry of you have not yet received one we have some still waiting to be issued.
