At Towerview Playschool this week fun was had moving and
grooving on the outside ‘dance floor’ –
the children constructed a dance floor using the outdoor construction materials;
all child initiated – complete with guitars made from oars and tennis racquets
and plastic bottle microphones! The ‘audience’ even got instruments so we could
all join in.
Some children have been producing some great artwork,
using confident cutting and drawing.
The children warmed up whilst exercising to our ‘bean bag
raps’- ‘good listening guys!’
Due to high winds we were not able to do Forest School
this week but we did make sure we were outside building, on the bikes and doing
some digging work on the outdoor space – tidying up and sweeping.
During circle time using the microphones to sing in to
and then listen back some lovely nursery rhymes were heard being sung and even a
little song from ‘Frozen’. The children's faces while listening back to
themselves singing was a picture!
We also read
'Whatever Next' which lead to a great group discussion about the moon “....what
it might be like....why it was boring...(because no one was there)...... Could
there be aliens?....if so ..would they they be scary or friendly.....what they
might look like.....how many eyes.....what colour?.......do they wear
clothes....." They wear underpants"... Linking to "Aliens Love
Underpants". Some great thinking, imagination and language.
At Broadway Playschool water play was very popular this
week– squirting using the puffer fish and making the water wheels whizz around.
They also enjoyed pretend bubble play with the bubble wands!
They have been sticking and gluing and mark making while
on the ‘phone’.
The children have also been enjoying ‘Goldilocks and the
3 Bears’ story and are beginning to remember the refrain.
