We hope you have had another great week packed full of lots of different learning opportunities. Here is what the Early Years teachers have been up to this week.
Mrs Conlon has been busy making coasters from corks that she was given. She enjoyed sitting in the sunshine carefully gluing them together. She also found a programme all about penguins and enjoyed watching that one evening. Mrs Conlon really wanted some chocolate after dinner the other day so she found some squeeze white chocolate and made her own buttons! Even though some of them weren’t perfect, they still tasted delicious! Mrs Conlon and Mrs Conlon also spent some time playing a board game together called Ticket to Ride. This was the first time Mrs Conlon had played this and she won!
Mrs King says ‘Hello everyone, I hope you enjoying time with your family and doing your home learning challenges! I am missing you and look forward to seeing you when we can!’. She enjoyed a VE Day afternoon tea with Mr King and her two sons. It looked very delicious. Mrs King also had a pamper day with a relaxing face mask and then painting her toe nails. Mr King surprised her with some gorgeous pink roses when he came home from work!
Mrs King certainly enjoyed the ‘relaxing’ of the lockdown rules as she spent time waking along Langston Harbour. Although it was a little windy she enjoyed being out in the sunshine with her family!
Mrs Grout had a lovely walk along Southsea seafront with her family where they all enjoyed an ice cream together in the sun. They also visited the War Memorial and saw a Royal Navy ship sail off from Portsmouth Harbour. Mrs Grout also made some bunting to celebrate VE Day.
Mrs Aquilina celebrated VE Day by also making some bunting for outside her house as well as enjoying an afternoon tea with her family in the garden whilst listening to World War 2 era music. She made some delicious chocolate chip cookies as well as a butterfly feeder to hang in her tree. Mrs Aquilina also did some gardening by trimming back some of her plants.
Miss Deacon has some pictures to share with you from her local area when she has been out walking everyday as part of her exercise. She was amazed to see so many different things, it gave her a feeling of happiness to think how much our country has come together to help others get through a very tricky time.
Whilst on her walk she also spotted a bird egg. It was fairly small and unfortunately broken. She thinks a predator must have got hold of it and ate the contents of the egg. She thinks it is a blackbird’s egg, what do you think?
On another walk she spied someone had written on the path with chalk…
It said did you know that a male giraffe is up to 18 feet tall! And then it said look up… Miss Deacon looked up and saw that someone in the house had placed this in their window… do you think it’s 18 feet tall?
Finally for a bit of fun her aunt sent her this photo. You have to find a butterfly, a bat and a duck… can you spot them all? She has found the bat for you already!
Have a great week Year R. We miss you all.
