Swans Room News May Newsletter

The Swans Room has continued to enjoy all of the signs of Spring, particularly the sunshine this past month. We have celebrated lots of special times of the year for different religions, including Easter, Passover, Vaisakhi, Ramadan and Eid. We learnt about why each of these is celebrated and took part in lots of fun activities relating to each event. We had an Easter Egg Hunt with the Cygnet children, decorated eggs, read Easter stories, took part in the Easter Bonnet Competition, made our own Seder plates, designed Mandala patterns, made our own Henna designs and much more. As well as learning about these special religious days, the Swans also made their own egg and cress sandwiches with the cress they had grown. They planted the seeds in the soil and checked their progress each day. When they were ready, we cut them and mixed them in with eggs to make our sandwiches! We then all had a picnic together admiring our hard work. The children have also been working on their counting skills and we have been using language including ‘more’ and ‘less’ when discussing different amounts. During May, we are looking forward to celebrating the upcoming Coronation of King Charles III and will be taking part in lots of activities for this occasion. Additionally, we will take part in Mental Health Awareness Week, with a focus on our and others’ feelings, as well as learning to be kind. We cannot wait to see where the children’s interests will take us this month and can’t wait to learn more.
