The children wanted to finish the term off with the wheels on the bus nursery rhyme. We had lots of fun over the last 2 weeks, making a large bus, acting out in the bus station, making marks with different tyre prints and even going out on a real bus to the park.

Part of the new curriculum and following the lead and interest of the child, we have learned about aeroplanes and going on holiday. One of the children shared her holiday experience, which inspired the other children to want to make aeroplanes. Lots of imagination was used.
