Swans Room News

We have had another busy and fun-filled month in Swans! This month we have been focusing on school readiness as the majority of the Swans children are starting ‘Big School’ in September. We set up a new ‘Book of the Month’ table linked to starting school complete with examples of different uniforms, school- themed stories and registers on clipboards. The children have really enjoyed exploring this table and have been roleplaying calling each other’s names before placing a tick or cross next to it for if the child is at Nursery or not! During circle times the children have enjoyed sharing their experiences from recent school visits where they have met their teachers and new friends. They have also been busy drawing their schools, their uniforms and pictures for their new teachers which has sparked lots of discussions about this next exciting adventure! The Swans have also been busy learning about Portugal in June. Many of our families have visited Portugal in the past and so we had lots of photos uploaded onto Tapestry which the children enjoyed sharing with one another. They have been busy making their own Portuguese flags using different materials, learning how to say “hello” and “goodbye” in Portuguese, as well as how to count from 1-5! This month we have also started practising for our ‘Swans Graduation Ceremony’ which has now be postponed to Friday 23rd July, due to the recent Government announcement regarding restrictions. The children have started to learn some new songs and actions for the big day and are already very excited to show these off!
