We had lots of fun outdoors this week in our garden exploring and playing with our friends. There was some yummy vegetable soup being made in the mud kitchen and some dinosaurs trying to escape the lava in the sandpit.

This term, we are taking some time to move our bodies through dance. Today we moved our bodies in different ways thinking of wide, thin, high and low shapes that we could practice and move a streamer through the air. There were some very impressive moves on show.

We have developed some of the play areas within our class this week to take into account the children’s interests. The imaginative area has been very busy with costumes being made out of fabric and pegs and fancy dress props to act out games and stories. We designed a new playdough table using crates from our outdoor area and enjoyed adding herbs to the dough to make some interesting smells.

A reminder that all children require outdoor waterproof clothing on a Thursday, as we spend a good amount of time outdoors on this day. We are also outdoors for a little bit on a Tuesday but wellies and a jacket are suffice on this day. Hopefully that will mean a little less luggage being carried to school each day.

Enjoy your weekend!
