The children continue to observe the tadpoles and
caterpillars and we are recording our findings. We have been practising the
dance for the coronation and we have looked at African music and dance. The
children have been playing with the instruments and creating their own dance
moves during CIL. We have researched the life cycles of the tadpoles and
caterpillars using the internet and books. We watched the animated story of the
caterpillar with shoes and used this story during maths to count the shoes and
feet counting in 2’s. The children were then encouraged to create their own
caterpillars with shoes and to label the amount of shoes that their caterpillar
would wear.
The children have started to talk about the Coronation
and we have supported their interest by providing resources for them to make
flags, crowns and bunting. They were very interested in the event but did not
have much idea what it was about. Through discussion and questioning we found
out what they already understood about the event and we showed them footage of
the Queen’s Coronation. We are going to be focusing on the event next week when
the children have had the opportunity to experience the reality of it over the
weekend. We will observe their reactions next week and plan around that. We
will be making a role play area after we have discussed what the children need
to extend their creativity.
I hope you all have another enjoyable long weekend.
