Cygnets Room News

The Cygnets have had an extremely busy month, we have been exploring our country of the month 'Spain’ including learning how to count 'Uno, dos, tres' in Spanish and also how to say Hello 'Hola' and Goodbye 'Adios'. The Cygnets have been enjoying exploring the Travel Agents in the Role Play, taking on the role of a 'travel agent' and 'customer' using the telephone and laptop. We have had our very own 'Cygnets Sports Day' the children enjoyed taking turns as they had mini races doing the sack race and the egg and spoon race. We have talked a lot about emotions this month in the Cygnets room, encouraging the children to tell us how they feel as well as supporting them to understand how others may feel in certain situations. The Cygnets have shown much interest in Makaton, we have been teaching the children a different nursery rhyme in Makaton each week including; Three Little Monkeys, Old Mac Donald, Peter Rabbit and Row Row Row your Boat. The Children have enjoyed learning the signs and are keen to participate in Makaton classes every morning. The Older children have enjoyed using mats and coloured pegs to create many colourful patterns using two colours each time to make a different coloured pattern. We have thoroughly enjoyed the glorious weather this month and have spent much time outdoors, the Cygnets enjoyed ‘Beach Party’ week. They had fun exploring in the sand making many sandcastles as well as playing in the water and making our very own water slide in the big garden.
