This week, the Nursery children had a great time with the story Funnybones! The fun skeletons in the story sparked their imagination and creativity through exciting activities.
The children enjoyed pretending to be skeletons, acting out parts of the story and moving like bones. They worked together to bring the story to life. They also made skeletons using cotton buds and black paper. They arranged the cotton buds as bones, creating their own skeletons and practicing their fine motor skills. The children had fun singing and dancing to "Dem Bones, Dem Bones." The song helped them learn about body parts as they pointed to their arms, legs, and spine. Lastly, the children drew their favourite zoo animals, like lions, tigers, and giraffes. They connected their learning to the word "zoo" from the story. It was a week full of fun and learning for the Nursery children! This week, the children enjoyed Anansi and the Golden Pot, learning about the importance of sharing. They listened attentively and engaged in discussions about its moral lessons.
As a follow-up, they explored a world map to locate Ghana and compared life in Britain and Ghana, discussing schools, villages, cities, and London’s multicultural nature. They were particularly interested in images of daily life and cultural differences. A highlight was tasting Ghanaian food, including jollof rice and fried plantain, with many excited to try new flavours. They also listened to traditional tales from both countries, identifying shared themes of kindness and respect. Overall, the children showed enthusiasm, deepening their cultural awareness and appreciation for storytelling. |
