Please take a look at this snapshot of some of the activities in JK over the past 7 days.
Spring has sprung and decorating eggs brought out an abundance of creativity! The topic of ‘how will we survive when the Earth dies?’ came up as the children were busy decorating… you will be pleased to know that plans are being made for a possible move to another planet or to live underground like monsters! Other topics included ‘what farm animal are you?’, ‘what colour are you? and ‘what ocean animal are you?
The children have spotted the older children junk modelling and decided they needed to create too – everyone brought in a box and it’s been amazing! The children have built a house, a tower, a ship and a cooker to cook eggs. There has been lots of laughter, and learning to let go of one idea to create a new one. There’s been great team work too!
The water table has had a four day break from outdoors and we have loved having it inside our classroom. Pouring and squeezing are key in early years to strengthen the arms, hands and fingers in preparation for writing – improving fine motor skills and hand eye co-ordination. We have enjoyed bubble water, glitter water, coloured water… all enhancing fun times for learning.
We also made slime…it was “gooey, oowie and gloopy”.
Although, sadly, the camera focus seems to have let us down in all of these photos, you can still clearly see the sense of joy and accomplishment on the children’s faces and this makes each photo special and worth sharing.
