  Each six made a seaside or
under the water collage. We also made shell
creatures and shell sand
cast paperweights.

As

Hashanah themed word searches. We then watched a video of children
explaining a little about Rosh Hashanah. We tried some traditional Rosh
Hashanah food, played Rosh Hashanah themed party games, did some apple
printing and made our version of the Shofar.

 After
six time and a game of Motherhen, we reminded ourselves of the brownie
story. We then made our choice of 'wise owl' to remind us to help at
home. We had the choice of beaded
owls, owl finger puppets, owl hama beads and an owl collage.
 28th September: Talk from EACH After
six time we listened to a talk by a lady from East Anglia Children's
Hospices. We will be helping 1st Whittlesford Rainbows to raise money
for them later in the term. We spent the rest of the evening playing
lots of games.
5th October: Discovering the Amazon
Rainforest
  After six time we played a running game
based on creatures from the Amazon Rainforest. We then looked at some
pictures of people that live in the rainforest and talked about the
food they eat. We then made frog bean bag toys, parrot bookmarks and
jaguar masks.

other rainforest activities visit the rainforest section
of ideas4kids.

October: Endangered/Threatened Animals of Madagascar
  After six time we searched for hidden
pictures of Madagascan animals and rearranged the letters on their
backs to form a word. We then made lemur hand puppets and chameleon and
lemur shrinkles.

October: Divali Theme
  After six time we looked at pictures
and objects associated with the Hindu festival of lights and played a
game based on the story of Rama and Sita. Panther decorated ours hand
with Mendhi patterns. We used coloured sand to make Rangoli pictures,
coloured rangoli patterns and made 3D lotus flowers and diyas from hama
beads.
