What a day it has been at Alphabets today! We have been looking at our plants and vegetables in the garden. We estimated the heights of our sunflowers then measured them. Orange team won with the tallest sunflower, followed closely by yellow team, then blue, green and gold. We also pulled one of our carrots out of the ground and although it was still quite small the children were very excited to see that the seed we planted a few months ago had grown into a carrot!
Thank you to everyone who came to our disco and graduation this afternoon. We had a brilliant time dancing and playing games, then watching our Big Alphabets walk along the red carpet to collect their certificates and gift. It has been an absolute pleasure teaching and caring for each and everyone of the children who attend Alphabets and we are very sad to say goodbye to those who are off to Big school. We will miss them all but we wish them the very best for the future. We hope you all enjoy the Summer holidays and we look forward to seeing the little Alphabets and all our new starters when we return on Wednesday 5th September.
It’s been another fun day today at Alphabets. In the garden some children have enjoyed playing ring games like Farmers in his Den with Sarah. The children took turns and joined in with the singing. Indoors we have been painting and making lots of pictures using different materials of the children’s choice. Don’t forget our disco and graduation tomorrow from 4-5pm. We are all really looking forward to seeing everyone and having lots of fun!

Sophie is raising money to help Naomi House Children’s Hospice (Wessex Children's Hospice Trust)We have been exploring the oats with the dinosaurs and volcano today. The children enjoyed feeling the oats between their fingers and talking about how it felt, developing their descriptive vocabulary. The children also made marks in the oats and talked about and learnt facts about volcanos. This afternoon we had a visit from Moo Music. As always the children thoroughly enjoyed the session and joined in with the singing, dancing and parachute games. It was all centred round the theme of going to the beach. It was great fun!
At Alphabets today the children have been exploring the dry pasta with the trucks and diggers. We have also been catching the number fish with the fishing rods in the water tray outside. During Big Alphabets the children practiced copying their names. Just a reminder that the last day of Alphabets before the Summer break is next Wednesday 18th July.
