Music (Monday)

We revisited the Wiggly Worm song, with groups of the bairns standing up at the front to lead the singing.  We moved our bodies to the music, including some freestyle dancing.  Mrs Garrick brought out props for Miss Polly had a Dolly.  The bairns took turns to take on the roles of Miss Polly, the doctor and the percussion player.  Mrs Garrick started with a slow Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes and then the bairns requested “faster, faster”.  After that energetic burst of movement, we relaxed with the Zen bowl.

Bookbug (Wednesday)

The bairns gathered in the quiet room for Bookbug. Claire had brought along a rainmaker, which the bairns quickly identified from the sound. They were keen to try this out for themselves. We sang the Welcome Song and then moved onto nursery rhymes. The bairns moved their bodies by clapping, spinning and jumping. The bairns listened to the story Open Very Carefully by Nick Bromley with a different take on the traditional Hans Christian Andersen story of the Ugly Duckling by the invasion of a green and yellow crocodile. The bairns form a circle to stretch out the green material for Five Fat Peas, letting go when the peas go pop.

Outdoor Play (Monday – Friday)

The bairns have been exploring balance, climbing and looking for bugs.

Role Play (Monday – Friday)

The bairns have been engaged in different role play across the setting. This has included families and dens in the quiet room, cafes in the home corner and cities using a table with extended legs.

Building (Monday – Friday)

We have seen lots of building this week, from small structures using wooden blocks to a large jumping platform in the outdoor room. The bairns also built a den outside using a tarpaulin and cable drums.

Water Play (Tuesday & Thursday)

The bairns used loose parts to add to their water play, creating angles for pouring.

Play and Learning (Monday – Friday)

Here is a selection of play and learning from the remainder of the week.
