pancakes as well as flipping them. Mr Meadows also joined in the fun! The class enjoyed sensory activities in our next topic, ‘Let’s get messy’. Much fun was had exploring gloop, sticky dough, putty, slime and spaghetti!
Summer The Kindergarten class have enjoyed an extremely exciting and busy Summer Term. Our topics included, ‘Giants and beanstalks’, where our home-corner became a giant’s castle and the children had the opportunity to plant and observe the growth of fruit, vegetables and flowers. The children also grew their own beanstalks and mini-gardens.

Another favourite theme was, ‘Mini-beasts’, during which the children went on a bug-hunt and constructed their own minibeasts using paper mache. The children really responded to this theme and have become extremely observant of even the smallest creatures in our outdoor environment. Zaynah Ilyas enjoys spaghetti play!
Later in the term the children developed lots of interest in learning about dinosaurs. We went on to make and paint our own dinosaurs in junk modelling sessions as well as taking part in a dinosaur dig. We celebrated Easter at the end of term with stories, craft activities and an egg hunt in our garden.

At the beginning of June we began practising songs to be performed at our summer concert, ‘Honey’. The Kindergarten class took part as bees and flowers and we performed a rendition of, ‘I’m a little honey bee’, along with the Nursery class, before joining the other Drive classes for the main concert.
