For the past two weeks, all our learning has been based around the nursery rhyme 'The Queen of Hearts'. The children have been developing their vocabulary by using 'WOW' words in our speaking and writing activities. We made 'splendid, divine, magnificent and luscious jam tarts' and the poor queen suffered an 'emergency' in her castle when her tarts burned and caused a fire. What a disaster! The children loved role playing calling the fire brigade to save the palace.We have also been giving each other compliments as we want 'kind hearts' just like the queen herself!
We are taking a change of direction this week as we will be looking at a royal wedding 'When Mum was a little girl' (Prince Charles and Lady Diana). If you have any souvenirs of the date e,g, tea towels, spoons, mugs etc that you would be willing for the children to look at (nothing too valuable), then please let me know. I would particularly like photographs of street parties that took part around the date as we will be arranging our own street party in school to celebrate Prince William and Kate's wedding later on in the term. It would also be nice if parents would come and talk about their memories of Prince Charles and Lady Diana's wedding to develop the children's listening and speaking skills. If you can help our with any of the above then please let me know.
