At half term some of our Nursery children have been on holiday so we have been exploring the theme of holidays and the seaside.
Our book this week has been Lucy and Tom by Shirley Hughes. In this story, 2 children visit the seaside and get up to all sorts of fun while they are there. It has helped us think about our own holidays and all the things we have got up to.
Cheeky Monkey, our class toy, sent us a post card from his holiday and we have been writing postcards back thinking about things we can do at the seaside.
"We had ice-cream." "We found shells."
"We swam in the water" "We built a sandcastle"
" We rode on a donkey" " We kicked a ball"
" We buried our toes and made a mermaid's tail"
We have been combining media to make textured pictures. We made some amazing under the sea collages using a range of natural objects.
We have had fun role playing in our seaside souvenir shop and making play dough ice-cream.
We have used our imaginative small world play to talk about our own holidays, where we have been, how we got there and what we have done.
Later this week we will be practicing for sports day. We will be holding our own mini sports day Thursday June 29th before pick up - more details to follow.
Next week our theme will be Under the Sea.
