TALES OF TINY TOTS
What were the under-5s in our villages getting up to in May
In May the children enjoyed some of the
sunnier weather we have been having.
They were busy 'selling' ice creams
outside so we followed up on this
interest and set up our own ice cream
shop in the role play. The children had
lots of fun buying and selling many
different varieties of ice creams to their
friends. They took it in turns to be the
shop keeper, taking money, counting
how many pounds and pennies the ice
creams cost and talking about their
favourite flavours and toppings to have.
We continued our ice cream theme with
making some real ice cream!
The babies also enjoyed exploring
the ice cream shop and their seasidethemed tuff tray, complete with
sunglasses, ice creams and buckets
and spades.
In the mud kitchen outside, the
children were busy making lots of
yummy mud pies, cakes and pasta.
They used their imaginations to create
different dishes and serve them to their
friends and the staff .
The children have also been
interested in learning about the sea and
the animals that live within it, as many
of them have recently visited a seaside
or been on holiday. We looked at what
animals live in the sea and whether they
like the colder or warmer seas to live in.
The children spoke about what animals
they have seen on their visits to the
seaside, and we have been learning
about what the animals like to eat, how
big they can grow and what sounds they
make. We watched parts of David
Attenborough's Blue Planet TV series,
which they really enjoyed.
We have also been practising our
balancing and climbing, with obstacle
courses in the garden. The children had
a great time working out how to
navigate different aspects of the course
and they were very kind and helped
their friends along the way.
We are now hopefully looking
forward to enjoying some warmer and
sunnier weather and tasting more of our
delicious ice creams!
