Mum drives into the car park and we go into School together. I hang
my coat on my peg and put my boots on the floor below. Some of my friends
arrive and the Mums chat about this and that.
9.15
am The door opens and there is Maggie waiting to welcome us in. We
sit down in a circle and Kate starts a song. Today, it's the bird song
and we all make sucking sounds as each bird eats up a worm! We say "Bonjour"
to Kate when she calls our names and then Max counts all the children
so that we know how many cups and saucers to put out later. Then I tell
everyone about the fox I saw in my garden and Tom says that a fox caught
his chickens. We're learning about dinosaurs at the moment and I know
all their names and which ones eat meat. The tyrannosaurus is my favourite.
Kate says if he stood in our School his head would stick out of the roof!
10.00 am We put our chairs away, I had to show a new girl how
to carry her chair properly today. Carole asks me whether I'd like to
help plant some bean seeds. We're going to plant 10 seeds and then dig
them up one by one so that we can see what happens to them in the soil.
After I've washed my hands I go and play with the dinosaurs in the sand
with Mike. The stegosaurus has a nest of eggs and has to protect them
from a hungry velociraptor!
We're
making a dinosaur display and I help finger paint a huge picture of a
diplodocus. My Mum put her handprints on a picture of a tyrannosaurus
the other night when she went to an adult evening session in my School.
Maggie shows me how to draw some letters. I have to trace a sandpaper
"S" with my fingers. I think it looks like a snake and I liked
making the "ssss" sound. On the computer, I play a game where
I direct a caterpillar forwards, backwards and left or right to its food.
11.00 am Kate claps her hands because it's time for milk and
biscuits. Good, I'm hungry. I finish my game and wash my hands. Then I
go and choose a book to read - it's about a boy who finds some toy dinosaurs
in his granddad's attic. It's Jo's turn to put out the cups and saucers
today. I hope she doesn't take too long!
Good, I'm sitting next to Tom. He's my best friend - oops I've spilt some
of my milk I was pouring into my cup. Never mind - I know where to get
a cloth.
11.30 am Time to go outside - just got to put my boots
and coat on. Great, all the bikes are out. There was a pheasant
in the garden but he went as soon as we all got out!
12.00 pm Time to go in. Mum will be here soon but there's
just time to listen to a story.
12.15 pm Susie asks the Mummies to come in. My Mum is so
busy chatting to Laura's Mum that she doesn't hear Susie and Maggie
has to ask all the Mummies to be quiet! How embarrassing! I go and
say goodbye to Kate and she shakes my hand. Makes me feel ever so
grown up.
