What a very exciting week it has been to finish off this term. Being inspired by our latest poem from The Poetry Basket, ‘Pancakes’ by Christina Rosetti, we decided to make some to make the poem come to life!

Elsewhere the children continue to practise their artistic skills in Drawing Club. As we have been enjoying many books about runaway food (The Runaway Pancake, The Big Pancake and of course The Gingerbread Man), we are learning how to draw a gingerbread person.

And finally, a big thank you to Rob Beck from The Rep theatre. Rob has been working with us all this term and on his first day back in January we looked at photos of Rob in his acting roles. The children were really curious about one particularly photo which shows Rob acting as Queen Elizabeth 1, complete with costume, wig and make up. The children asked him there and then could he dress up and pretend to be a mermaid?

So, on his final day with us, Rob did just that and showed us how an actor can transform into another character – this time complete with a mermaid tail! The children became sea creatures and had their face painted too, then off we all went on an underwater adventure to Elsie the Mermaid’s birthday party!

Never a dull moment in Nursery.

Enjoy the half-term everyone 😉
