Racing Raccoons Weekly Round Up

sophie-reed — Fri, 18 May 2012 16:17:31 +0000

This week the children have been getting really excited about our Jubilee party, we have been making our Union Jacks and crowns ready for June 1st.

We have also been learning our Makaton signs which the children have all really enjoyed and they have spent lots of time practising the signs which they have learnt. We then continued this activity on by creating a display board so that the children can see the different signs throughout the day.

The Raccoons would like to wish Aanya a very Happy 4th Birthday on Monday.

If you have not done so yet please could you bring in photos for your child’s family book.

Don’t forget to join us for breakfast on Tuesday.

Have a great weekend.

Cheeky Chipmunks Weekly Round Up

sophie-reed — Fri, 18 May 2012 16:16:35 +0000

This week some of the children have been looking at how their actions can affect and upset others. They have been looking at what makes them feel ‘happy’ and what makes them feel ‘sad’. They also discussed how to make their friends feel better when they were upset.

The rest of the children have enjoyed exploring the balancing beams and using an obstacle course to help to develop their balance and coordination.

Our termly parent meetings are next week if you have not made an appointment yet but would like a meeting with your child’s key person please speak to them and they will be able to book one for you.

The Chipmunks would like to wish Angela a very Happy Birthday tomorrow.

Have a great weekend.

Cuddly Cubs Weekly Round Up

sophie-reed — Fri, 18 May 2012 16:03:33 +0000

This week we have had a very physical and creative week in the Cubs, and have made the most of the improving weather by doing lots of messy play activities outside. The children particularly enjoyed exploring the flour in the messy tray and pretending that it was snow and the garden looked like it had been hit by a blizzard by the time they had finished!

They also had fun making decorations for the Queen’s Jubilee as they were able to use lot of sparkly things and make lots and lots of mess.

On Friday we made purple play dough and enjoyed squishing it between our fingers and using the plastic knives and forks to poke into it.

Have a great weekend.

The Cubs team.
