Hello everyone

Hello everyone,

We hope you have all had a great weekend and had some fun times.

Last week we continued exploring our learning of dinosaurs. On Monday we were very excited to see what had hatched out of dinosaur egg. The weather was beautiful and sunny and we used the toy dinosaurs on white paper to see the shadows they made. We drew around the outline of the shadows and observed what happened when you moved the dinosaurs into different positions. On Tuesday we painted our dinosaur fossils which we made last week. We looked at the dinosaur imprints in the fossils. We enjoyed making some stick dinosaur puppets using lollypop sticks. 

On Wednesday we did the dinosaur stomp song which was lots of fun and moving like dinosaurs. Here is the link if you would like to do it at home:-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Imhi98dHa5w

On Thursday some of us made some edible fossil cookies to bring home. They looked very yummy. 

We have really enjoyed sharing some more dinosaur stories and information books. 

On Tuesday we had PE with Mr Treble and we played a game called Bunnies. There were hoops around the hall and when Mr Treble clapped his hands we had to run to a burrow (Hoop) before he caught us. Each time he took a hoop away. We also did some balancing and climbing some large steps. 

Throughout the week we have enjoyed the frozen dinosaur eggs and using hammers to free the dinosaurs from the ice. We also found if we put the ice under warm water it melted the ice away. We have been mark making with whiteboard pens on foil and seeing how easy it is to wipe it clean. We also enjoyed exploring the water colours and how to paint with them. We had the opportunity to paint some daffodils. Outside we have enjoyed organising our own ring games including duck duck goose, what the time Mr Wolf and using the crates to enable us to score shoots in the basket ball net. We really like building marble runs which are really tall and adapting them as we go along. We have been observing the eggs which are in the incubator and looking for any changes. 

Here are some pictures from the week:-

This week we will be doing lots of Easter/Spring activities and we are all very excited as the eggs will be hatching in the next 3 days. There will be a live webcam on facebook when they start hatching.  On Thursday we have got our sponsored POWSA bunny hop.
