We all dressed up for World Book Day. Lots of the children brought their favourite book to school with them and dressed up as a character from that book.
It was so sunny, we spent time outside in our costumes. We were all excited and did lots of role play with the outfits.
Throughout the day we looked at all the different books and listened to and read stories.
We had our second week of drumming with Joy in the music room on Tuesday. We all learned how to take care of the drums and how to play them properly with the palm of our hands.
We learned to say hello in a foreign language called Swahili – The word we learned was ‘Jambo’.
In one of the songs we have to shout out our name and then everyone else shouts our name back . Joy wants us all to be able to do that for next week.
At the end of the session Joy played a song and we got to dance. In that song we had to pretend that we were different African animals. We all had great fun moving to the music.
Joy says that by Easter we will all be able to play a tune together!
Mr Travins has kindly given up his time to do some music with the children on Wednesdays just before lunch. The children really enjoy singing along to the music of different styles and cultures. They are learning new sounds, words and patterns through music. Often they will continue singing the songs they have learned throughout the day and a bit of singing around the the table at lunchtime is not uncommon!
We were busy last week making hats for our Christmas concert
We have done lots of practising and on Friday we were ready to film our performance. Everyone looked great in their Christmas jumpers.
We have been learning some nursery rhymes with Mrs Gilfillan.
Nursery rhymes are a great way to help develop your child’s vocabulary and reading skills. If your child has any favourite nursery rhymes they would like to sing in nursery please let us know. You could also ask your child about the rhymes they have been learning in nursery and sing them together at home!
