Swans Room News

The Swans have been very busy throughout November and have enjoyed learning about lots of exciting things. We started the month by learning about Bonfire Night, with the children designing their own firework pictures using toilet roll tubes and lots of brightly coloured paint. We then learnt all about Remembrance Day on the 11th November, as we felt that it was important for the Swans to understand the importance of the day. We held a two- minute silence at 11am and the children all made their own poppy creations to take home. We then began learning all about nursery rhymes to celebrate World Nursery Rhyme Week! The children enjoyed singing lots of their favourite rhymes, whilst also learning some new nursery rhymes as well! I wonder if your child can remember a new Nursery Rhyme that they learnt? We also carried out a Humpty Dumpty egg experiment, in order to show how different materials can affect the egg breaking or staying solid. The Swans also designed their own teapots to use as a prop during ‘I’m a Little Teapot’ and enjoyed using a doctor’s kit to make Miss Polly’s dolly feel better. Finally, as always, we have been participating in lots of phonics and maths activities, including threading, practicing writing names, matching objects to numeral cards and many more. The Swans have had a fantastic and very busy month and are looking forward to lots more fun next month, especially as we continue preparing for Christmas, starting lots of fun Christmas crafts and practicing for our fantastic Nativity Show!
