SPORTS DAY IN KINDY CLASSES

Children in Kindy classes are already learning about using their big mouths and exercising them as they speak. Some fabulous mouths in this class in East Harptree.
 



 And, as part of their current topic of 'Sports' the children had a chance to try their hand at the egg and spoon race. Look at the concentration on their faces!



Kindy classes are held in many locations around the UK. For more information visit:

END OF TERM IN KINDY DRAMA

Children from East Harptree Pre-school in Somerset finished their last term in nursery with a presentation of the Kindy Drama skills they had been practising through the year. Academy Training Manager, Margaret Darley, teaches the classes and was delighted to meet parents and show them the progress their children had made. After a rousing 'Hello Song' the children demonstrated their speech exercises, with lots of actions!
BIG BRIGHT BEACH BALLS BOUNCE, BOUNCE, BOUNCE!
The movement section involved them in different expressions, and helped their concentration as Margaret demonstrated the required emotion and they copied.
WE ARE VERY EXCITED CHILDREN!

Lessons are split into themes and their most recent one was 'Beach & Ocean' and the class performed an adapted version of a Lower Primary Mime to Music called the Giant Octopus - ably assisted by their teacher, Lynne, as the octopus.
WE'RE NOT SCARED OF THE OCTOPUS!
To help listening skills the children are required to follow a series of instructions - helped by their class mates of course!
I AM WADDLING LIKE A PENGUIN!

To finish their show, each child had a finger puppet of some kind of sea creature and they sang 'The Fish In The Sea Go Swim, Swim, Swim' to the tune of 'The Wheels On The Bus'. Nursery Manager, Margaret Ballantyne, was happy to join in.

THE SEAHORSES GO UP AND DOWN, UP AND DOWN .......

All that remained was the singing of the 'Goodbye Song' and the show was over. Many of these children will now move on to primary drama classes in the new school year and Margaret is looking forward to meeting the new class in September for another exciting year of Kindy Drama.
