Mini Rangers is back after Raft Race Sunday! Don't know if your planning on popping down, but the event is run and organised by the boat club. Remember your risk assessment and take care to look out for rubbish that may not be friendly to you or your child.
Our ideas this week are centred around building sentences and learning and using new words. To do this we have a very simple activity using a piece of string.
This week Mini Rangers we are focussing on a fishing game! No we aren't going near the water, we are however using a piece of string. We will tie a small twig on the bottom and then we are going to go on a treasure hunt through the undergrowth. You will notice the big leaves the tiny flowers of different colours.
For children just being introduced to words it is enough to describe the colours, textures and feels of the objects that they find. For older children I will bring some spotting books and we can start to identify the leaves and flowers that we find.
We are encouraging Attention and Listening through the circle time where we will be reading the Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. I will also briefly show the spotting books that I mentioned using one of the strings made by the children to encourage understanding.
We will encourage Talking socially through giving out food, taking our turn to request our juice and saying please and thank you.
The food we will be making this week on our camp fire will be fresh cooked pancakes, shop bought crumpets with butter and some shop bought pancakes.
Looking forward to seeing you all
Take care
Mel
