Ugly Duckling and Lots of Splashing

For Yoga this week we had the story of The Ugly Duckling and how it turned into a beautiful swan.  Let's look into the water and what can we see?  Frogs, fish, snails, weeds and me!  Let's see how we swim.  How do frogs move? How do fish move? Now show me how you move.  Flap your little duck wings, now move those graceful wings.  Lots of good ideas from the children and great moves - very imaginative.

Outside the children have been making the most of the lovely weather.  Splashing around in the paddling pool and having a pool party with lots of games.

We played musical statues which was good, although we decided musical bumps was not such a good idea.

We've had lots of walking the plank and big jumps at the end - landing onto something very soft.  Very brave.

On Thursday afternoon we went out early to our outdoor area and enjoyed a relaxing lunch in the sunshine.  We were then very busy making grass snakes, cutting stinging nettles and collecting things into bags.  We learnt about stinging nettles, with lots of us getting stings and we talked about how to avoid more stings.  We played Stuck in the Mud and Mr Crocodile before heading back to preschool.
