Landmarks 🗿🗽🏰🕌🏛️

We are excited to share our latest theme, which focuses on exploring the continents and showcasing some well-known landmarks from around the world.🌎

To make this experience engaging, we have set up a construction area where the children can build their own planes to "fly" to different destinations. Our adventure begins in London, where we will delve into iconic historical sites, including Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, London Bridge, and Big Ben. The children have been eager to learn and have loved sharing their family stories about visiting these landmarks.

In our Pyramid exploration tray, the children can uncover interesting facts about Egypt while using their maths and problem-solving skills to create their own pyramids. Plus, our Playdoh Jungle activity lets them channel their creativity by crafting habitats for various animals found in natural rainforests. Through these hands-on experiences, we aim to connect different continents, enhancing our understanding and appreciating the unique features of each region.

Do take a look at what the children will be exploring over the next two weeks!

Obstacle Course 🏃‍♀️🏃

The children had a wonderful time today on the school field participating in an obstacle course.

They collaborated in its creation and attentively listened and watched the teachers as they demonstrated how to complete the course. To begin, the children weaved between the cones, followed by dribbling a football to a cone and concluded with throwing a ball in a hoop. They cheered each other on and felt a great sense of pride in their accomplishments.

Obstacle’s courses can be incredibly beneficial for children in the Early Years Foundation Stage. They promote physical development while also fostering confidence, communication and problem solving skills through active play.
