“I would eat sweet stuff all day then brush my teeth”.

“I would eat chocolate, sleep, wash my hands, brush my teeth then climb up and jump on the castle”.

“Run really fast and eat all the strawberries”.

“I would eat pizza everyday then when it’s night time I’d brush my teeth”.

We had a ‘Royal Party’ lunch to celebrate the King’s Coronation.

We liked pretending to be Kings and Queens for the day.

The biscuits were so yummy! Miss Laurenson even pretended to be a Queen with us.

The coloured rice has been a popular activity this wek, we chose our own loose parts to use with it and spoke about the colours of the Union Jack flag and spoke about what we knew about London. We liked role playing different members of the royal family with the puppets.

We watched a video all about about the coronation and learnt about all different roles of the Royal Family. If you would like to watch this with your child at home here is the link-

“It’s strawberry and chocolate ice cream”.

We said we were having a ‘picnic’ with Mrs Drozdowska, we role played being at school and had our bags full of loose parts, we said these were “Sweeties” and ‘”Ice cream”.

Mrs Gilfillan brought us in a big box, we chose to paint it and decided it was ‘A rocket ship’.

We got a new creel for our boat and caught lots of different sea creatures in it.

We love messy play!!

We have been looking after our sunflowers by giving them daily drinks of water and they are now beginning to grow.

We mixed up some soap flakes and discovered they turned into big bubbles.

We were great at looking after our babies, we washed them, dressed them and made sure they were well looked after.

We used the loose parts for ‘Animal food.

We were happy to have Gym in the multi-court this week. We practiced our aiming skills with kicking balls into the wooden blocks.

We controlled the ball with both our hands and feet to get them in and out of the cones.

We practiced scoring goals, we all had great aim and were able to get the ball in the goals.

Whist at the park we discovered that there were no tadpoles in the pond but we did find lots of slugs and snails, slaters and spiders too, we were very gentle with them and put them back where we found them. We liked looking at all the pretty flowers that have grown too.
