Our Spring 2 Journey
The children in Tadpoles absolutely love listening to stories, and singing nursery rhymes. Each term we focus on two or three stories, and rhymes linked to our theme.
This terms theme: Animals.
The stories we have been reading: Brown bear, Brown bear. Monkey and me, and Dear Zoo.
Nursery rhymes: The bear went up the mountain. Two little Dickie birds, and down in the jungle.
We also celebrated Mothers Day, and Easter.
Dear Zoo.
Tadpoles loved exploring the book 'Dear Zoo.' They are able to retell the story along with Miss Barber while she reads it, and independently. We have created animal masks, washed dirty animals in the water tray, looked at the sizes of each animal compared to them, explored a very messy but fun safari tuff tray and even watched the animals at the zoo via a webcam.
"look camel" said Eesa.
Monkey and me.
We started exploring this book this today.
