World Book Day in Bumblebees

What a wonderful World Book Day we had in Bumblebees.
We read lots of stories, did lots of role playing, we discussed our favourite book characters and we learnt about the parts of a book and what authors and illustrators do.

At the end of the day we joined Hedgehog Class and had a fabulous story session with the children’s author Teresa Heapy. The children really enjoyed listening to her story ‘Very Little Cinderella’. The children then joined in with a song and Teresa introduced her puppet friends Very Little Red Riding Hood and Foxie.

What an exciting day! The children are already deciding what they’d like to dress up as for World Book Day 2024.

Taking Risks

The children in Bumblebees have recently taken an interest in playing with our play tools. They enjoy pretending to ‘fix’ all of our toys and spend lots of time in our role play area fixing the table and chairs. We have recently extended this play by including hammers and golf tees with our playdough tools, and the children have been using ‘Tap a picture’ play kits.

Today we built on the children’s interest even more by using real hammers and nails. We discussed the risks with the children and they decided it would be best to hit the nail really gently, just in case !
Taking risks during play helps to develop children’s critical thinking skills and risk management, as they begin to understand simple ways of keeping themselves safe.

The children were all very sensible and really enjoyed taking risks, safely.

Laith – ‘ my best thing today was hammering’
Lottie – ‘I liked hammering the nails into the wood’
James – ‘The hammer was very cold and heavy’
Tommy – ‘My Dad use hammer’
Nancy – ‘ I put the nails in the logs’
Elsie – ‘I was banging the wood’

Cloud Gazing

The children in Bumblebees are enjoying the sunshine. Some of them decided to lie on the floor and gaze at the clouds. They saw lots of interesting shapes in the sky and some children even thought they saw a Rocket Ship zoom past !

Lottie – ‘I lay on the grass and saw a Crocodile cloud’
Elsie – ‘I saw a line in the sky’
Jasmine – ‘I was lying on the grass and saw a dragon pattern in the sky’
James – ‘I saw a line that was moving, it looked like a Rocket on fire’
Nancy – ‘I lay down and saw a Bumblebee cloud’
Cody – ‘There was a Rocket flying in circles
Oakley – ‘I was looking at shapes in the sky’
Tommy – ‘I saw the trail from a Rocket’
