What a wonderful week we have had celebrating our love of books!
We had a visit to Seven Stories where we participated in a sensory story ‘Jungle Jamboree’, it was great fun and the children got to dress up in the animal outfits, listen to the different animals sounds and feel lots of textures similar to animal skin.
The children enjoy stories so much, it gives many opportunities to make choices, practice cause and effect and communicate their feelings/likes/dislikes through eye contact, vocalisations, gestures and early Makaton signs.
We had a whole school celebration for World Book Day where the children dressed as characters, they all looked fabulous and had such a great day! In the afternoon we watched some classes doing short plays of their favourite stories.
ZOOLAB came to visit and we got to meet lots of creatures such as snakes, cockroaches, millipedes. We were very brave holding and stroking them.
Coralie and team.
