Rhythm game

We are playing rhythm games in Music.
They are a lot of fun.
We tried cats and kittens before, but today it was the turn of the ducks and ducklings!

Vases of flowers and candle holders

We were very busy at art today.
We coloured some lovely vases of flowers and we made very cute candle holders which we have yet to paint.
I wonder is there any occasion coming soon?

Piet Mondrian

We were learning about primary colours. We used them to mix secondary colours- green, orange and purple! Then we looked at the work of Piet Mondrian, a famous artist, and painted pictures just like his- with straight lines and lots of primary colours!

Super seahorses

We made some great sea horses in art today.
We might use them as pencil tops or as cool bookmarks.

Rhythm patterns

These are our cat and kitten patterns.
This one is kit-ten, cat, kit-ten, cat,
Cat, kit-ten, kit-ten, cat.
We love clapping out patterns as we sing the tune to Twinkle Twinkle.

Farm prints

After our visit to the mobile farm on Friday we decided we would like to make our own farm prints.
We used farm stampers to help us to make nice pictures.

Dressing up

Today we took out our dress up clothes and we had a lot of fun dressing up this morning.
We had some great imaginary conversations in our pretend roles.
We love dressing up!

Keeper of the keys

We play a fun drama game.
The child on the stool is the keeper of the keys.
With his eyes firmly closed, he has to listen out for anyone trying to steal his keys.
Can you steal the keys without being heard?

The Lonely Dragon

We are doing some fun drama activities all about the Lonely Dragon.
He lives in a cave near a village.
He is lonely but he might be dangerous.
Should we invite him to our village fair or not?
What will we say to him?
Should we stay safe and not talk to him at all?
Is it fair that he is always lonely and has no friends?
Such interesting questions!
