Swans Room News

The Swans have been very busy throughout August, beginning by exploring Italy, which has been our 'Country of the Month'. The children enjoyed making lots of traditional Italian dishes such as pizzas and spaghetti, the children created their very own Italian flags by using paints, tissue paper and other creative materials as well as using watercolours to create a beautiful picture of Venice. The Swans had lots of fun taking part in the 'The Swans Olympics!' The children have really enjoyed getting involved in lots of fun activities related to the Olympics, participating in lots of races, completing obstacle courses, creating their very own Olympic torch and watching a few of the events on our Interactive screen. This month the Swans went on a very exciting trip to see the dinosaurs located all around the city centre of Leeds. We began our trip by getting on the bus, and the children were all so excited. We sang ‘The Wheels on the Bus’ and pointed out lots of well-known places and landmarks along the way, such as Roundhay Park. When we arrived in Leeds, we split up into smaller groups and began our adventure to find all of the dinosaurs along the Jurassic Trail. All of the children showed fantastic listening skills throughout the trip and remembered how important it was to hold hands and stay with their group and their adult to stay safe. As always, the children have also continued taking part in lots of other fun and exciting activities, with a particular emphasis this month on phonics (in particular rhyme) and maths, as the Swans have been showing lots of interest in these areas. The children have been practising writing CVC words, beginning to blend simple words when reading books and starting to add and subtract using a variety natural resources.
