This week we continued to focus on the many wonderful iconic landmarks found in our great city.

Both the ‘Tower of London’ under the stairs and ‘Buckingham Palace’ in the letter room continued to be huge hits. Depending who was playing, the areas became home to royalty, picnic areas and tea houses, with the royal pets and Paddington Bear at the heart of the imaginative play.

Throughout the week many towers were constructed, some proved to be more stable than others. We concluded that the absence of ravens could possibly have resulted in some of the unsound structures!

On Wednesday we watched ‘The Poppy Story, An Introduction for Early Years’ explaining Remembrance Day and the reason why poppies are worn by millions of people. We reintroduced the simple but poignant poem ‘Poppy, Poppy’ and in the morning the children stopped to observed two minutes silence during dance.

Poppy, Poppy

Poppy, poppy what do you say?

Please wear me on Remembrance Day.

Poppy, poppy what do you tell?

Many soldiers in battle fell.

Poppy, poppy what should we know?

That peace on Earth should grow, grow, grow.
