Celebrating the end of the Olympics

The children had so much talking about the Olympics last month, as many had been watching the games on TV and knew all about the different events. The children took part in many activities celebrating all aspects of the Olympic Games, such as creating their own Olympic flames with brightly coloured pens and paint, as well as creating flames using different coloured tissue paper squares. Some children printed out their own Olympic rings using the different coloured paint. Some of the younger children enjoyed making their own medals using paint or play dough. Everyone wanted a medal! There was a lot of conversation around the different events and the children enjoyed playing with the dressage area, with some even having a go at weight lifting.

Carnival Week has been very exciting and full of lovely, colourful activities and music. Last month the children had lots of fun celebrating Carnival Week, where they all had the chance to design their own carnival hats using different paints and feathers, which they then wore during their singing and dancing sessions. Some of the children even had their own carnival parade wearing the lovely hats they created and used all their instruments to join in with the carnival music. The children also cut up their own colourful summer fruit to make their own fruit kebabs. This activity really challenged their co- ordination to cut fruit pieces and ‘thread’ them on to the sticks, which they all managed beautifully!
