LIME
Lime were very excited about ‘Small Business Day’ and ‘Crunchy Taco Day’ which are happening this week. They merged them together and created some taco shops! The main 2 shops were TacoDonalds (which sold a HugeMac) and Taco Bomb, who sold various food items to awaiting customers by shouting their number order to them. Elsewhere a lovely soggy stew was made and several puppets were made (to celebrate ‘Puppetry Day’ which is this week) including a butterfly, ladybug and bumble bee.
WILLOW
More small businesses were popping up in Willow class. Huge shouts of ‘bamboo, 3 leaves for bamboo’ were heard, as a couple of entrepreneurs were raking in the money (leaves). Elsewhere, a fortune teller had set up shop, while a spa was created where you could dip your wellies in some brown water to cool off. A couple of dens were made, while a second hammock was nearly successfully built from a tarp but it was more of a pod that rested on the floor when they tried it out. A bee called Jeremy was also rescued from certain death!
EYFS
The main excitement for Ash and Saplings involved a Bee as well! They discovered one on the ground looking a little worse for wear and decided it was best to try and nurse it back to health. A spoon with some sugar water was offered up and they watched on as it tried to drink. They then found some flowers for it to sit by to regain its strength. Some bunnies have been visiting the early years garden and some little homes were made for them, while an art gallery that sold spicy coffee popped up too. They also discovered the water butt and made stream!
BEECH
Beech were excited to hear the tales of bees in the forest and a sculpture of a flower was made using bamboo. They hoped that it would attract the bees to the forest and let them know it was a safe place. The trees were almost always full and there were queues of people waiting for their turn. Another group decided they would make some traps and got all the rope they could find to make this happen. They weren’t sure who the traps were for but were sure they’d work! A small team also sat and enjoyed watching the older years playing on the field.
MAPLE
Maple were excited about ‘Small Business Day’ and a few small business sprang up. Some were… selling delicious leafy treats, collecting worms and a couple of builders who could make anything. They cleaned the digging zone very well and were looking for gold in the log pile. A few of the class were out at cross country, so they seemed to really enjoy having a little extra room and scurried up and down the tree and used the hammock to their hearts content! A very cool F1 car was also built using bamboo and logs and a pit crew was being assembled to help manage it.
