Our Early Years Blog

The children were acting out a poem from our termly book 'Commotion in the Ocean'

'Deep Sea'

Miles below the surface

where the water's dark and deep,

live the most amazing creatures

that you could ever meet.

There are fish of all descriptions,

of every shape and size,

some have giant pointy teeth

and great big bulbous eyes.

Some of them can walk around

and balance on their fins,

but the strangest fish of all

have glowing whiskers on their chins.

'Penguins'

We waddle about on our icebergs,

which makes our feet slither and slide,

and when we get close to the water

we leap with a splosh off the side.

'Octopus'

Having eight arms can be useful,

you may think it looks a bit funny,

but it helps me to hold all my children

and tickle each one on the tummy.

'Shark'

I swim with a grin up to meet you

see how my jaws open wide,

why don't you come a bit closer?

Please, take a good look inside ...

 'The Jellyfish'

The jellyfish just loves to jiggle

which other fish think is quite dumb

she knows it's not all that useful

but jiggling's very good fun.

Foodie Friday

The children peeled and chopped potatoes ready to make fish cakes. It was hard work but they did well. At the end of the day the children ate their fish cakes. They all appeared to enjoy them.
