Term 6
Come Outside!
What the Ladybird Heard
We have been reading What the Ladybird Heard by Julia Donaldson. To retell the story we used stick puppets in our puppet theatre. This term's topic is 'Come Outside! So, we have been thinking of different activities we do outside, and this week we were camping. We enjoyed getting our tents ready and making a campfire to toast our cotton wool marshmallows on.
To continue to develop our fine motor skills, we used playdough to create our own ladybirds. To copy the trail of the ladybird flying to each animal to whisper her plan, we used ribbons wands and chalk marking.
Term 6 Week 2 What the Ladybird Heard at the Seaside
This week we have been reading the story of What The Ladybird Heard at the Seaside. Hefty Hugh and Lanky Len are up to their old tricks, but luckily the Ladybird has a plan to stop them.
On the theme of the seaside the children have been using shells to make prints into playdough.
There were buckets and spades to make sandcastles in the sandpit. We had our Barn Owl's version of the sea to paddle in and swim across!
We have been using 2D shapes to make patterns and pictures. You can see the mermaid from the story made of shapes. Children used the water syringes to make the boats move from one water tray to another along the guttering. The sunshine has helped with our theme of being at the seaside!
