In group time today, we listened intently to a very exciting version of The very hungry Caterpillar story with story sack props. The reader read the story, with lots of enthusiasm and energy, changing their voice and using props like the caterpillar, plum, pear, orange, apple, lollipop, and a cocoon to make the story came alive.This led to a conversation about changes in nature and the time things take to change.
Stories are often a great way to open the minds of young children and take them on a journey of discovery.

Ways of being healthy- making our own sugar free biscuits and adding fruit.
On another day, we did some baking. Mixing butter, flour, and vanilla essence. We couldn't wait to bake our biscuits and eat them for tea, adding the fresh raspberries that a parent had brought in to sweeten them naturally.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We went on a pirate ship with musical instruments!
We loved our song session today. We were Pirates on a sailing ship!
We did activities such as popping corn with the parachute, played with rhythm sticks to the beat of the guitar, and counting songs, looking for "snakes in the bag", using shakers, and pretending to be swaying from side to side in the pirate ship. We got 'wibbly, wobbly' as the sea got rough with the storm coming. We played our drums loudly, softly and lifted them high and low. New vocabulary, new movements, lots of fun and learning.
