Summer School

Here is the Summer School gang.


For the last few weeks we have got together a couple of days a week to have fun, learn new things and do a big project called 'All about me.'
So far we have done family trees, self portraits, time lines (past and future), body measuring, hand painting,poems and lots of games and more.

The kids were divided into their own groups according to age.
We have the Lions. Elijah (3) and JJ (2). Amoung other things,they have played sharing games and learnt to read our names and made lots of mess.







































Efenie. Which is made up of their initials, Faith (7), Nathan (6) and Elise (7). As the older group these guys have worked great together, helping each other with work on things like games with times tables and handwriting. They have been great and most of the time have taken on a task and gone off on their own to complete it.Well done guys!!!


And finally the middle group whose name changed everyday-sometimes twice a day. We started with 'the Wolverhampton/Worcester rose and flower Piper and Quesne group'(their own choice of name???) but soon got shortened to 'the noisy girls'. Phoebe (5) and Marissa (4).These cuties have been working extra hard on their phonics and number work and have come on leaps and bounds.


We have had so much fun and the kids have often moaned on the days when there was no summer school. We only have 2 weeks left and then the Pipers are back to school, I think everyone is going to miss our little summer school (especially Susie), but I think everyone will have fond memories and have made even stronger ties to last till next Summer and beyond.

Oh, can't forget this little angel. Alyssa (0).
