On Wednesday Lucy from Nelson Street Church came to do some Easter crafts with us.First,we were reminded of Jesus' journey in the Easter story. We then made a catapult for an Easter egg.

We practised tiptoeing quietly, like sneaky animals, and stamping loudly like an “angry elephant.” The children also enjoyed freezing in different animal positions, showing great control and balance.
These activities have helped the children develop coordination, listening skills, and confidence in movement, all while having lots of fun being creative!
Our Stage in EYFS, by Miss Sheldon

We practised changing tempo and volume, making “trip trap” sounds as the goats crossed the bridge. The children also enjoyed acting out the story with music, building their confidence and creativity.
Through these activities, the children have been developing their listening skills, understanding of rhythm, and ability to express themselves through sound – all while having lots of fun!
