This week the great adventurers started their new ABC and beyond book Shaun the Shy Shark by Neil Griffiths.

Michael and Vincent enjoyed playing with the puppets from the story. Especially the sharks.

Mini ABC  started reading There’s a monster in my house. They helped to tell the story by lifting up the flaps and identifying what was in the pictures. There word this week is fierce meaning angry. They sorted animals into fierce and not fierce groups.

In Big noise they were learning the difference between high and low sounds using their voices and musical instruments to identify high and low sounds. They looked at a spring picture and identified things that were high up in the picture making a high sound or low down in the picture making a low sound.

They also started to learn about children’s rights this week identifying needs and wants.

In the garden some children enjoyed exploring numbers practising their number recognition.

 

Some children enjoyed exploring in the sand pit filling up and emptying out the sand.

Sophie and Oscar enjoyed jumping over the dip in the ground managing to get from one side to the other.

Some children had fun in the garden using loose parts to make a train. They took turns to be the driver and decide where they were going.

The pre-school children received another letter from Yeti Headquarters. They have been asked to help Dot answer all of the questions she has about going to school as she is feeling a bit scared and worried about it. This weeks question from Dot was what do I need to learn before I go to school? The children helped Dot by sorting some pictures into things they need to learn before they go to school and things they don’t. The children learned that they already know all they need to for starting school because all of the other things they will learn when they go to school.

 

The children had great fun doing an Easter egg hunt in the garden and decorating their eggs with pens and stickers.
