At the end of last term, we had Jeanette from the Dove Puppet Theatre visit as our first incursion. She entertained us with puppets, songs and stories relating to Nursery Rhymes. We also got to have a turn at feeding the cow, giving instructions to the puppets and using them ourselves.
At the start of Term 3, we welcomed Michaela from the Drama Toolbox with her trolley load of costumes, props and music. We all got to take turns to dress up as MiniBeasts. Caterpillars, lady bugs, grasshoppers, dragon flies, worms and butchy boys were crawling and flying all over the mat!
Following on from the Drama Toolbox experience, we used eye droppers to create colourful butterflies; stickers and cutting to make lady bugs; and pasting and hole punching to make insects on leaves.
On the one wet afternoon we have had this year, we got busy with balloons, bean bags and music….. a noisy, active, frolicking afternoon!
Father’s Day gifts were completed with pride and enthusiasm….strict instructions were given out that the daddies or poppas needed to wear their cardboard ties all day……….and loving drawings of dads showed up on individual cards.
Now, that the weather is sunnier, we are encouraging children to start to wear hats and sunscreen. Please help your children with the sunscreen at home before the session.
We welcome Porsha and her family, the Van Oosterwijcks and Adele, who has taken over as our Additional Assistant from Jennie. Thanks to all our parent helpers for their willing assistance.
Regards,
Carol, Meg and Adele.
