It was lovely to have a visit from Chloe Tallack and Bookbug. The children were so engaged and were fantastic at joining in with all the songs, rhymes and stories. They were really good at remembering actions and signing along.
The children printed patterns with repeated colours and shapes.
We also played clapping and movement pattern games which were great for focus and concentration.
The school has lots of fantastic resources which are great for making patterns. The children worked really well in pairs and rotated around lots of different activities.
We also went outside and found patterns in the environment, bricks, slabs and leaves. They collected some stones, leaves, petals and sticks and create their own patterns with these.
Many of the children knew the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff and were soon joining in with the repetitive aspects of the story.
They then had to work in pairs to build a bridge to get the goats across the river. It was great to see the children chatting to each other and getting the bridges to join together.
There were also goats to make using craft materials and trolls to paint in some bright colours.
The children loved listening to the story about Splat the Cat’s first day at school.
Their paintings are absolutely fabulous and are already up on the classroom wall.
