Oi Frog!
We have been learning about the story Oi Frog! in English over the last couple of weeks. We all really enjoy listening to the story and finding the rhyming words!
Noah’s Ark
As part of our child initiated play this week we looked at the Noah’s Ark story from the Bible. We enjoyed finding out about all of the animals that Noah saved on his ark! Some of us chose to make an ark from construction materials and a few of the girls chose to act out the story using the small world ark.
Forest School
We had a fantastic time at Forest School this morning! Kris went through all of the rules and guidelines to help keep us safe while we are there. We then had some free time to explore the forest. We are so lucky to have such a big site! When we were getting ready to have our hot chocolate and snack, we found a frog on the ground. He was very jumpy!
