Pumpkins and Puppets

For our Yoga this week we were witches going to a party.  We had nice tall hats, broomsticks.  What can we wear?  What can we put in our sandwiches? - slugs, snails, frogs legs and cats!  Lets fly through the forest, past the wolf, over the rickety bridge and lets cast a magic spell.  Ask your child what they liked about the adventure.

We made a puppet show.  The children loved putting on strange voices and making up stories.  There was lots of crocodiles going to eat them all up!

The Food Lotto game was very popular.  The children looked at their cards and looked to see what foods they needed to find.  They then put their hand in the bag to see if they could find the food they needed.

The children also enjoyed lots of singing and rhymes this week.  They had thought of plenty of actions and performed them in patterns.  For example, clap your hands and stamp your feet.

There was lots of kindness being shown outside this week with the children thinking of how they can be helpful towards each other.  There was lots of children taking it in turns to push each other on the tractor - what great team work.

A stage was made this week and we had the musical instruments out.  The children had a lovely loud time making music with their friends.  Some of the children really enjoyed the singing whilst the others played the tunes.

There was lots of creative work this week as the children had a large piece of material and the children drove the small construction vehicles through the paint and onto the material.  They loved looking at the different patterns each vehicle made with their tracks.

We did some lovely pumpkin carving - but then a wicked witch took them from the trolley!  We had to go on a hunt to find them!
