One of the children asked if we could make something with apples, so we made apple crumble. Thanks to Mrs Craig for supplying the apples. The children are really enjoying baking and have had an interest in Ice-cream this week. We made a healthy Banana Ice-cream with frozen bananas, milk and honey, which Mrs Mackie donated. The honey came from Lyall\u2019s Aunties Beehive. When we asked the children what they thought of it there was lots of thumbs up and yummy comments.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Helicopter Stories (Using our Imagination to create and act out our own stories &#8211; Literacy and Drama)<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mrs Keal introduced Helicopter Stories to the children this week. It is a great activity to develop the children\u2019s creativity and imagination We started off by children acting out stories that other children had come up with. The children were fairy ghosts, monsters, spiders, crocodiles, birds, trees and we even had someone be the lightening!<\/p>\n<p>Staff will now scribe the children\u2019s own stories, which we will act out at Storytime.<\/p>\n<p>A story shared by one of the children this week:<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>The Butterfly who eated the Monster<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Butterfly goes into the woods and wakes up the monster.
