A Warm Welcome to Thenuk and Melina, the latest additions to the playway family. We are delighted to have you in our play-circle. Hope you enjoy your time the playway.
Tales That Rocked the playway: the playway team presented Three Little Pigs, The Three Billy Goats Gruff (with Stick Puppets), Goldilocks and The Three Bears (in May) and The Little Red Riding Hood as well as ‘Thoppi Velendha’ in early June giving the young audience a great opportunity to enjoy these popular stories from around the world. The students followed the presentations by acting out their own versions spontaneously. The experience children gained will last a long time. The photographs will be uploaded to the blog shortly!
Thank you teachers for creating the props within a very short time and volunteering to act, giving life to many favorite characters from around the world.
Thank you Isaac A student from New Zealand who spent most of his life in Laos and then Sri Lanka read three of his favorite childhood stories adding variety and meaning to our theme “Tales around the World”.
Thank you Yulia: Yulia read one of her favorite stories, A Porcupine Named Fluffy to the Busy Bees on a very busy Wednesday when she visited the playway.
Ms Masha from the Russian Centre library will be presenting Alonushka and Ivanushka, a very famous Russian children’s story at the library on June 17. The children will also be given an opportunity to explore the children’s books at the library at this occasion.
The Screenings of ‘Thoppi Velendha’, the famous Sri Lankan Folk tale, Three little Pigs and The Very Bad Wolf also gave the children tremendous opportunity to explore the theme “Tales around the World” and have loads of fun at the same time while doing it.
Integration: The art and craft, number, language lessons, PSE, PE, music and even cookery lessons were integrated with these stories. When we cooked the Enormous Pancake the children could not resist the aroma it produced. They demanded that they be washed and prepared for their snack at once. Luckily, this enormous pancake did not run away!
