We had the most magical Frozen Day! We danced to Let it Go! and did the Hokey Cokey and Conga with Olaf! We also joined in with Baby Shark and other party dances. We played pass the parcel and musical chairs and went on a search for frozen hearts. We had a snowball fight and made it snow, then chased the snow bubbles. We had special Frozen meals and at the end of the day we all took home a Frozen treat! Hopefully the children will take away lots of happy memories from Frozen Day! (See previous posts for lots more photos.)

Frozen Day Treats!
We visited the milkshake bar to make our own milkshake with cream, sprinkles and marshmallows! We also had snowflake biscuits. They were very yummy! For lunch we had Kristoff's meatballs and spaghetti with frozen ice and snow. At tea we enjoyed snowflake sandwiches and snowballs followed by Frozen cupcakes. Special food for a special day!

Due to circumstances beyond our control, sadly, Olaf arrived very late for the party yesterday so he made an impromptu visit this morning to say hello to the children that he missed. He joined in with dancing and gave lots of high fives and cuddles before he had to go back to Arendelle.

Preschool started their week by joining in with Stick Man yoga, showing good balance and holding the poses well. They made their own Stick Man family, counting and comparing the number of people in each family to establish who had most and least. The children followed pattern cards to create different shapes and numbers, showing excellent observational skills. They also manipulated their bodies to cops the different poses made by Stick Man. The children used the wooden claves to beat out their name and different rhythms as well as playing fast and slow and loud and quiet. Throughout the week the children have been learning about the letter s and words beginning with a s sound. They also made a s Stick Man as well as creating Stick Man using paint, playdoh and loose parts. What a busy week!
