April began with pantomime and pictionary! We revised our sports vocabulary, associating an action with the words helps with remembering the word and the meaning. Dodgeball was a new word for adults and children alike, but it's good to know because it's popular and lots of our daycare groups play it regularly! Words like football and basketball were more familiar. 

Can you guess what sport is being shown below? That's right, let's ride a bike! 



How about guessing which sport is being drawn? Could it be basketball? 



We also got an important task, to make ourselves a passport to take with us on our journey. When asked about what they know about passports, the children told that it's an important book you need when you travel, you beep it in a machine, you get it stamped, it has your name on it - your full name, and of course your picture. The picture is just of your head and shoulders. Many of us have passports at home. We thought about what we looked like and got on with drawing our own pictures. Writing our first names was easy, our surnames were a little harder but we managed it with help. Then we were ready to go! Once we got to Enkkumaa, we showed our passports and got them stamped.

Hello! What's your name? 
It's nice to see you! Welcome! 




Around Easter we started learning the names of farm animals and pets, dog, cat, pig, chick, bunny, bird, cow. We learnt a new rhyme;

The children knew many of the animal words already - fantastic!
