Well, here we are starting another term of Tickled Skinking. We have had some new children start at "The Reading Shop" weekly pre-school session in Oadby. I think they (and their parents) had a great time!. We sang about the caterpillar life-cycle, incy wincy spider, all the bugs in the garden and where to find them. We also learn the names of 4 different garden birds and heard their birdsong during our lovely "Up in a tree-top late in spring" song. Then, the highlight, everyone got to stroke and hold our lovely adult corn snake, Blossom. She is albino and all the children love her beautiful pink markings. Everyone went away very happy indeed. We are lucky that The Reading Shop is so child friendly and has such a wonderful collection of childrens' books to buy. Many of them relate to the themes we are singing about, so the children often get a story too! |
