Medieval Madness!

This week’s theme at The Goddard School of Wall was Medieval Madness! We had an amazing Juggler, Brenn, visit us on Monday. She was actually part of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus! We made our own juggling balls with balloons and bird seed so we could learn how to juggle with her. On Tuesday, we were all Kings and Queens for the day! Many of our campers made their own crowns out of construction paper. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we enjoyed time in the sprinklers outside and jumping around in a cool Castle bounce house. We learned about the games Chess and Checkers and Ms. Kristen’s campers made their own checker boards with construction paper.

A Prince and Princess visited us on Thursday and read us a wonderful fairytale, The Frog Prince. After the story, we made our own “royal masks” to take home! Amazing Athletes came out on Friday to end our week with some soccer!

We’ve had a great week of Medieval Madness! Check out some of the photos from our week below…

Life’s a Picnic

This week’s theme was “Life’s a Picnic”. We all spent time exploring different aspects of having a picnic. The Dolphins classroom made picnic baskets out of very large pieces of paper that they painted brown. Miss Tara cut the paper into strips and the class assembled a huge picnic basket to hang on their wall (complete with thumb print ants)! All of the classes enjoyed the beautiful weather we had this week by taking their lunch outside for a picnic. We learned about all the yummy foods you can take on a picnic and discussed our favorite foods. Of course no picnic would be complete without ants so we spent time on Friday making some silly ant art! The Lobsters class made ant hills out of construction paper and painted ants with their finger prints.

Gymboree also visited us this week at the Goddard School of Wall and all of the Infant, First Steps, Toddler and Get Set classes enjoyed spending time singing, making music and playing games with Gymboree.

We hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and see you back at school on Tuesday!
