Hello everyone,
Hope you all had a wonderful half term, looking forward to hearing all about the children's adventures and news this week.
This half term we will be exploring and learning about the seaside. This week we are going to be doing pirates as its of children have been showing an interest in treasure maps and Bertie bought in a pirate story. We are going to be sharing lots of pirate stories and songs throughout the week. We will be looking at maps and the information they give us. Following on from this we will be making our own treasure maps using tea.We will also be making some telescopes and using different transparent colours to see what happens. Outside we will be using planks of wood to balance along and making boats using crates. Throughout the week we will be going on some pirate adventures by making up our own pirate stories.

Ah, so now I know what the telescope & binoculars our Granddaughter made at pre-school might have been for. Or perhaps it was her brother’s class at the POWFS learning project on pirates recently? They both visit the seaside often & find all sorts of treasures on the seashore. When she next visits us, we must remember to let her look through our binoculars & show her the large map of Poole Harbour hanging in our home.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting week you have planned with the transition children spending Tuesday afternoon at the school next door with their new teacher. Thanks to the wonderful experiences they have had these last 2 years with you & your team, they are now almost ready for the next step change.
Have a great week.
