Transition 1

The children had great fun today creating a mind map of a very adventurous holiday. They thought of lots of exciting places to visit, like castles, oceans, caves, mountains and rainbows and we added a few more ideas as we went along the way. They met dinosaurs, mermaids, unicorns, goblins, witches and wizards amongst other fantastic characters. Each time their was a special magical or precious gift from the character to go in the suitcase.

The children were so engaged and listened really well. They joined in with their own ideas and loved sharing their knowledge about different creatures too. They all helped to draw and colour the mind map and add a few more exciting parts to the journey.
