Story of the week

This week the children have been listening to the story 'The Doctosaurus'.  

You can listen to the story at home with your children by clicking this link link .

Next week we are focusing on Vets, if you have any pictures of pets that children have at home  so the children can talk about how they help look after them at home please do bring these in. 

Creative play

The children have been showing great independent play skills this week and have some lovely ideas for their play. They have built homes for dinosaurs together, added doctors items to the playdough and cut bandages for patients and have created some beautiful sparkly pictures. 

On the 25th, 26th and 27th of June we will be visiting Harold Hill Library to share stories and find out about the job of a librarian. We will need parent volunteers so please let us know if you would like to join us on the trip.  

The children have been enjoying visiting our school library this half term in preparation for our visit. Each week the school librarians take a small group and they share stories together. This week the children enjoyed using the puppet theatre to help re-tell the story of 'Old McDonald's Farm' and 'Hello Little Fishy'.

Outdoor learning

Our poppies have started to flower! The children have been very excited to see the buds open and look carefully at the flowers. We have also noticed the strawberries are starting to ripen and turn red. The mint has grown particularly well so we have used this to add a scent to our potions in the mud kitchen. 

Role Play

The children have enjoyed acting in role as doctors and nurses this week. We talked about how these people help us and named some of the equipment they might use such as a bandage, a stethoscope or a bottle of medicine. They children dressed up and enjoyed helping each other.

Stay and Play 

Thank you to the parents/carers who were able to attend the Stay and Play this week. It was a lovely opportunity to celebrate the outdoors! Outdoor play supports the teaching of our curriculum on a larger scale, please click here to read about some of the other benefits of children (and adults) enjoying time outside. 

 Here are some ideas you might like to try over the Summer holidays, let's hope for sunny weather! 

Many thanks,
