Mead Room

The Mead room this week has been a hive of activity. We have done balls skills up at the gym, had a visit from the Police, painted our windows, jumped in muddy puddles, and played with goop and silly putty. We also have been doing some impromptu singing and dancing, brought about thorough our new book ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’ which was donated by Dougal’s Nanny for Garandies Day.  Not only is it a great story, but it has a CD to go with it! We listened to the song and boogied for a bit, then we looked up the song on YouTube. There is a wonderful video clip of an animated hippo and dog singing and dancing to The Lion Sleeps Tonight’. We tried to copy the dogs funky dance moves and that was fun- watch out, So You Think You Can Dance! Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E8xMcXmI9E

We’d be happy to show you our moves!  

We also finally got some rain on Thursday, which meant we could get in our gumboots and go puddle jumping! This proved very popular, as was evidenced by James Warwick who said to Miss Amelia “I really enjoyed doing that”. Heavy rains over Thursday night meant that there were even bigger puddles for Friday’s puddle jumping. Tom and Angus were busy making wombat stew, while Olympia and Jock had races through the puddles. We were pretty wet by the end, but it was very enjoyable!

Please remember your named gumboots/jackets/spare clothes for next week’s Mud Pie Kitchen (which may happen on any day, depending on the weather!), and also your named Teddy Bear for Friday’s Teddy Bears’ Picnic.
