*STARS OF THE WEEK*

***I can use my imagination….***

 Bodhi - For making the most amazing lawn mower with our nuts and bolt construction toy.  You kept adding extra parts to make it better.

Oscar - YOur imaginative play is always amazing and we love that you draw lots of the children into your play.  Becca was so impressed with the house you built out of lego and how you adapted it to add a door.

Fergus - We love that your imagination is developing.  You played spies with Oscar and then got a fireman and a cat for him to rescue using the ladder you had made from a construction set.

Noella - It is so lovely to see you involved in imaginative role play games with your friends.  You are really coming out of yourself. 

Dear Parents,

We have had a very messy time being involved in activities relating to sealife.  The beach we made in the builders tray started well, but then a tsunami hit (the children) and it ended up looking more like a swamp.  The swamp theme followed on into the sealife jellies with sprinkles, that should have respresented fish.  They didn't quite go to plan.  However, the children did love eating them for afternoon snack.

The children created some lovely sea scapes with fish and seaweed potato prints and we found lots of sea creature puppets which encouraged the children to take part in some lovely small world play.  We were crabs, octopus and killer whales in P.E.

The sea life theme will continue next week with mermaids and we will learn 'Oh I do like to be beside the seaside', we didn't get around to it this week.  We will link our learning to number e.g. how many legs an octopus has, how many fins fish have, etc.  The older children will put the sea creatures that match the figure next to it to help with number recognition.

Have a lovely weekend. 

The Pebbles team.
