Room 7 and 8 vegetable garden

As you can see from the photos , the vegetables are growing at a fantastic rate and the children are really enjoying making their salad sandwiches with the lettuce.

Discovery time

Every Friday morning Room 7 and Room 8 children join together for discovery time. We have a variety of activities and the children move around and experience each activity. It is a lot of fun and the children experience talking about what they are doing and what they have just learnt. Sometimes they go and pick the fresh vegetables from our class garden and make themselves a salad sandwich.

Next Wednesday 24th August we will be having a refresher THRASS session to go over the basics in Room 7 at 3.00pm. All interested parents are welcome to attend.

Gardening

On Tuesday Room 7 had a lovely time planting out our new garden. We all had a plant to put into the ground and most of us planted a cauliflower. The plants that are in the garden are lettuce, spinach, cauliflower, cabbage,and broccoli. We hope some parents will send some more plants to school because we still have some spare space.

Junior disco

Last Friday we had our junior disco in room 8 at lunchtime. Mrs. Meys shifted all the furniture out of the room so that we had lots of space to dancewith our friends. She hung little fairy lights up and decorated the room with streamers and balloons. We all dresed up in our costumes and had a wonderful time.

The PPP programme

This year we have started a programme designed to help our pre-schoolers slot easily into the school environment. On the last visit they went up to the Green Room and they featured in a video using the green screen. They could decide on the background and how they were going to move. The next vision will be a surprise for the children because they are sitting together with a mystery background.

Music

We went up to the Library for our Music session with Dagmar. We became composers because we made up a music story using different instruments. We composed a story about the monarch butterfly and it's journey from a tiny egg. We used drums. shakers, triangles. a cabassa and a glokenspiel to make our musical sounds. We sat in little groups and decided which instrument would make the best sounds for the story. Then we became a band and performed our story for the rest of the class.
