If you have ever asked your child the question below and got the answer 'played' here is a little poem to think about... 

 

What did you do at school today?

   

'Well, first I sat at the dough table and rolled the dough in my hands. Lucy said hers was a snake and mine, mine was a worm.  Mrs. Melen talked about long ones and short ones, fat ones and thin ones and Mummy, Katie  rolled her dough so long it went right over the end of the table.  And nobody said, “What are you going to make? A cake would be nice.”'

 

“Yes but then what did you do?”

'I played outside and I climbed to the top of the grassy bank, it was really tricky and hard work and Mrs. Hellier gave me a clap and said “Well done!”'

“Yes but did you do anything today?”

 

Megan and I went to do  painting. It was lovely and gooey and we made lots of patterns with our fingers and hands.  Megan had yellow paint and I had red, and mummy, Miss Stokes  said, “I wonder what would happen if your paint got mixed up?” and mummy, do you know what, the paint went orange! And no-one said, “What a mess you've made.”'

 

“Yes but what  else have you done?”

 

'At milk time we sat in a circle and talked about our friends.  Mummy, I told Mrs. Hellier that my best friend is Luke because he came to see if I was alright when I fell and hurt my knee outside.  And do you know,  Mummy, after that Luke smiled at me a lot.'

 

'I made lovely traily patterns in the sand and Daniel and I had a race to see who could build a sand castle quickest.'

 

“But then did you do anything?”

 

'At story time we had a really good story about a caterpillar and do you know mummy, caterpillars turn into beautiful butterflies.'

 

“So did you do anything today?”

 

'We sang Happy birthday to Jack and counted the candles on his cake.  Oh, and I helped  Hannah find her coat because it was on the wrong peg  so she was a bit upset so Mrs. Melen gave me a kindness leaf and we lit up the kindness tree.'

 

'Well, when Miss. Stokes asked us to tidy up, I quickly painted you a picture, 'cos I knew you'd say, “What did you do at school today?”'
