Cygnets Room News

We have had an extremely busy month in the Cygnets room, at the beginning of the month we enjoyed lots of Bonfire Night and Remembrance Day activities. We spent much time in the creative area, making a range of different crafts to take home to our parents. This month we did a lot of ‘Reggio’ inspired activities which the Cygnets thoroughly enjoyed. We went out into the garden in small groups and collected mud with our hands feeling the different textures before bringing it indoors to the creative area. We created our very own ‘mud textured’ pictures with what we found in the garden. We enjoyed splatting the mud on the paper and watching it change as it dried. This month we have also launched ‘Our Favourite Five’ books. We asked our parents what their child’s favourite books were and then once we got all the votes in and we chose the five most popular to become ‘Our Favourite Five’. The children have enjoyed reading the five books this month, in particular ‘Shark in The Park’! As the children showed a keen interest in this book, we supported them to make their own telescopes like Timothy Pope. We collected many natural resources in the garden to design them. The Cygnets have also enjoyed exploring our ‘Curiosity Case’ which has a range of items inside for the children to explore and use their imagination with.
