The end of term really seems to have crept up on us this year! Isn’t it hard to believe we only have one full week of term left? Nursery and Little Acorns will finish on Tuesday 20th July.
Miss Lizzi, Miss Chandler and I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for taking such extra care over the last few weeks; keeping children with symptoms at home and taking tests just to be on the safe side. We wanted you to know how much we have appreciated this and we don’t always get the chance to tell you!
As we edge towards the end of term, please keep wearing masks at the gate, maintaining a social distance and keeping an eye out for symptoms. Thank you so much!
We have almost come to the end of Granny’s worldwide adventure, with just a few more stops on the globe to complete. This week, we headed to the southern hemisphere once again. We set our SatNav for the Great Barrier Reef, just off Australia’s eastern coast.
As we came into land, we realised there was no land beneath us and it looked like we were going to land in the water! We weren’t sure if our magic carpet is waterproof but, just in case, we quickly pressed the submarine-convert button and the carpet magically transformed into a submarine!
We know it can be very dark, deep down in the ocean but luckily we remembered to pack our torches so we could keep an eye out for sharks swimming above us!
We filled the ocean above us with, not only sharks, but all sorts of amazing sea creatures…dolphins, angel fish, jellyfish and whales!
And, of course, we had to read ‘Commotion in the Ocean’ by Giles Andreae to learn more about the fascinating creatures who live in our oceans. You can revisit it here:
We also took a ride on the back of a turtle!
And we re-read another of our firm favourites – the story of The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister which you can revisit here:
We hope everyone is having a lovely weekend, see you tomorrow!
