Unicorn Class Blog                    Term 1 Week 1                Week Commencing 4th September 2025

It has been lovely getting to know the children in the Unicorn Class this week. They have settled in nicely and enjoyed making new friendships, exploring the Unicorn environment and learning new routines.

We have enjoyed sharing ‘Giraffes can’t dance’ by Giles Andreae and Guy Parker-Rees. There have been lots of discussions around the feelings of Gerald the giraffe and animals in the story. We enjoyed listening to music and making up our own dances. We have also been exploring musical instruments and making music.

We shared ‘Things I like’ by Anthony Browne, then took it in turns to say something we liked, some of us also wanted to draw a picture of this.

The home corner has been very popular with lots of delicious meals and drinks being prepared, dressing up and playing with the babies.

We used the rolling pins, cutters and our hands to make a range of items with the playdough. Some of these items were then used to make stories and to get ready for a party. 

We have been making our own special handprint Unicorn for our own special wall space.

The kinetic sand, water play and magnetic shapes have also been popular.

We have enjoyed taking part with a range of nursery rhymes.

Next week we will be continuing with our ‘All about me and my family topic’ and having a ‘Three little pig theme’. 

Just a reminder that Forest School starts on Friday 12th September.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and looking forward to seeing you all next week for more exploring.

Best wishes
