Swans Room News

The Swans have been very busy throughout February and have enjoyed learning about lots of exciting things! We started the month by focusing on love, discussing who is special in each of our lives, and why we love them. The children enjoyed drawing images of their family and friends, telling everyone something they love about each person in their picture. We then celebrated Valentine’s Day the following week, with the children making some healthy Valentines biscuits and choosing someone to share the treat with! We also made our very own healthy strawberry jam, Valentine’s Day cards, completing heart collages and making hearts out of playdough. We have also been focusing on our Book of the Month ‘Handa’s Surprise’, as the children have shown lots of interest in learning about where Akeyo and Handa are from, where Africa is on the world map and how it may have some similarities and differences to us living in the UK. We have been looking at the various fruits within the story and re-enacting the story by balancing a fruit basket on our heads and walking very carefully. Finally, as always, we have been participating in lots of other phonics and maths activities, including threading, practicing writing names, matching objects to numeral cards and many more. We have also introduced a rhyming game, where the children are given a flashcard and have to find the correct matching rhyming flashcard before a timer runs out! The Swans have had a fantastic and very busy month and are looking forward to lots more fun next month!
