Tot school – Nursery Rhyme – Five monkeys-number 5

24 months

This week I had initially thought to do five little ducklings but as Luath has been loving jumping on the trampette I changed this week’s rhyme to “five little monkeys jumping on the bed”.  We did also sing “five little monkeys in a tree”.  Last year we had a week using “five currant buns”.  Since our number weeks are more about Luath recognising the different numbers we spent more time on the monkey theme than number 5.

I looked out some monkey themed books and toys.

We found number 5s in our puzzles and they jumped on the trampette.  Luath jumped on a 5 made of stones.

We all did lots of jumping on the trampette and re-enacting the song.

Other things this week
We had a few days in a city where we had some outside time (terrible weather) but did lots of unusual for us activities – riding in lifts (including a glass one), up/down escalators, big shops, restaurants and more.
We had fun in a muddy puddle and letting a dice decide our walk direction.  Retold The Gingerbread Man using story stones.  Pretend we had a broken limb using a pretend plaster cast I had made.
