Last half term was very exciting in Early Years.
When we arrived back from the Christmas holidays the whole unit had been transformed into a jungle!
Each child became and explorer, making a name badge and their own binoculars. We went off exploring in the jungle and found lots of wild animals. We were very brave!
One day we came into school to find a very strange box had been left in purple zone! It said ‘danger’ and ‘caution’ on the side. It also had big scratch marks down the side… uh oh! We had to decide what might be inside… We went up the school looking for clues and found out it had been a tiger! Aaaah! Luckily it was found in Asda car park and no children were hurt.
We made some yummy tiger cake…
Another day we arrived into the unit to find something sleeping in yellow zone…. shhh! Uh oh look at those sharp teeth! It is a crocodile!
The children had a good idea to put the animal into the guinea pig run to keep all the children safe. Reception children decided to make their own signs to warn people not to touch, stroke or feed the crocodile!
Some crocodiles escaped into green zone! We went around in our jungle jeeps looking for wild animals. We were not allowed to feed the crocodiles!
The following week Mr. Nolan arrived at school early to find all the ceiling tiles had been knocked out of place and lots of the leaves had been eaten. Niamh said it must be a giraffe as they are the tallest animals. The giraffe had left us some stinky poo which the teachers were not happy about having to clean up!
We did lots of measuring to see who was as tall as a giraffe too.
We ended a fantastic half term with a jungle fancy dress day.
