Drawing Club - Monkey Puzzle 🐵

This week in Drawing Club, we had an exciting time exploring the story Monkey Puzzle by Julia Donaldson. The children were captivated by the little monkey's search for his mum and loved joining in with the fun and repetition of the story.

We were especially proud of the children’s writing this week. They worked really hard on writing amazing sentences and focused on using the word and to extend their ideas.

As part of our Drawing Club session, the children also had a go at drawing the main character – the monkey! They followed step-by-step instructions carefully, taking their time to add each part. The results were fantastic and full of personality. It’s lovely to see how their drawing skills and confidence are growing.

A brilliant week of creativity and storytelling

 This week we have been learning about China in preparation for celebrating Chinese New Year next week. We have looked at famous landmarks in the UK and China, talked about the weather, food, money and animals. The children were so good at spotting things that are the same as our country and things that are very different!  We had a visit from Hannah's mum who talked to us about Japan, it was lovely to hear about another contrasting countries to the UK, we learnt how many things are the same in Japan and a few traditions which are different to ours.

Festival Celebrations

This week, EYFS brought the fun and excitement of the Isle of Wight Festival to our setting with our very own mini festival! The children had a fantastic time designing their own T-shirts and colourful wristbands, which they wore proudly throughout the day. We made musical instruments using recycled materials and had the chance to perform on our stage — complete with singing, dancing, and lots of smiles! Our little festival-goers dressed up in fabulous outfits, made festival headbands, and even built their own tents using poles, sticks, and pegs. It was a magical day filled with music, creativity, and imagination.

Pets at Home 🐹

  We were so lucky to have a special visit from Pets at Home this week! They kindly brought along two lovely guinea pigs for us to meet, and the children were absolutely thrilled. We learned how to carefully and gently handle the animals, showing kindness and care throughout. The children asked some really thoughtful questions and showed great curiosity about how to look after pets properly. It was a wonderful hands-on learning experience that sparked lots of excitement and conversation in our classroom!
