Summer and Minibeasts
|
We have all enjoyed longer plays outdoors and the signs of summer were obvious for all those around. Making links to your summer story, Mrs Allen showed you how to use the minibeast fact files with magnifying glasses around the Forest School. We also have our very own minibeast developing in the cabin as you are watching the caterpillars change every day.

I’m Still Standin, Elton John
Dangerous, David Guetta
|
Thanks to Harris and our big Blue class friend Jack, we couldn’t have moved the dough to two completely different songs. We have talked about Elton and his glasses and we finally got to introduce the French flag (our school language) thanks to David.

Who Looks Different – Elton John themed
|
The glasses of Elton John were a huge hit for the children and so we have all giggled at the game of Who Looks Different with a twist. We had to use our looking skills to spot who was hiding behind the glasses?

Always a favourite circle time – What’s in the Box? Last week we had a grumpy hippo trampling all over poor Hattie, Harriet and Harris and someone eating Mrs Mander’s ham sandwich!! This week, a chunky bear sitting on poor Bani, Benji and Billie and a beautiful ballerina twirling in a bucket.

Comparing Weight
|
We began by using a wooden plank and block to create some outdoor scales and enjoyed comparing the weights of friends by showing who is heavier? Who is lighter? This week we took this learning indoors with the “bucket” scales and compared objects around the cabin and finding heavier, lighter and the same.

Summer Days and Nights
Molly and her Dad
|
You enjoyed sharing the summer story with Mrs Allen, spotting those signs of summer in the story and comparing to the world around you. A father’s day story introducing Moly and her Dad had you all chatting about your own Dad and what job he does.

Let us chase the squirrels
|
A game that made us all want to be the squirrel as they got to run around and steal the acorns from the old oak tree. Our friends made the trees for us to climb and we all sang along.

Father’s Day
|
We have all worked hard to create our second flower print card, for our Dad this time. We have enjoyed sharing the photos of them and talking about them. As always, the funniest comments appear in the card. These are in a brown envelope hiding somewhere in the home.
