Humpty Dumpty Week!

by Miss C. Wilson | Oct 2, 2023 | Nursery

This week our rhyme was Humpty Dumpty. We had lots of fun carrying out all-sorts of eggy themed activities. We built walls for Humpty, whose was the tallest? Whose was the shortest? Could we place Humpty on top of the wall? Behind the wall? On top of the wall?

We read the story of Little Lumpty, and talked about why it wasn’t a good idea for him to climb to the top of such as high wall.

We puzzled over how to get a broken Humpty back together again, and patched him up with Elastoplast to make sure his cuts healed.

We decorated boiled eggs and collaged the Kings horses.

We sang the rhyme, pretending to be Humpty and fell off our own pillow walls.

We even tried cooking Humpty in different ways to see which we liked best.

We have had lots of fun and are looking forward to our next challenge – Twinkle Twinkle week.
