This week we have read the story of Elmer. We discussed diversity and having similarities and differences by linking the premise of the story and the fact that we are all different. We participated in Elmer themed activities by creating Elmer/elephant pictures, using the interactive white board, pencil control tasks and creating some stick puppets as well as masks. On Thursday we participated in National Day of Spain and learned how to say hello and goodbye in Spanish as well as making a Spanish flag. During our Friday outdoor session we worked on our resilience and self-help skills as we dressed ourselves in water-proof clothing and wellies. We had a wonderful time outdoors: raking leaves to take to the school compost heap, digging in our digging area, experimenting with tubes and funnels in the water area, creating in the mud kitchen and using the large construction equipment to build structures.
