“What Do the English Say?”

Sweets. Alexandra taught us that the English would say, not candy or dessert, but sweets. And everyone at WF is talking about them! On the playground this morning, two groups of friends spent an extended length of time selling strawberry ice cream and smoothies.

With sand as their material and plastic plates and buckets for tools, friends scooped, stirred and dished out serving after serving of ice cream. Shouts of “Ice cream! Who wants ice cream?!” were heard across the yard.

Inspired by Simon’s tarts, we decided to make another batch!

Lisa invited friends to create more baked yummies with green sparkly Play-Doh. They sang as they molded, cut, pressed, squished and rolled!

There were lots of games being played today. Jada, Sloane and Lea initiated a collaborative game of “London Bridges”.

With Melinda’s guidance, they played several rounds of the game singing and laughing along!

Kai, Viv, Simon and Max played “Hot Lava”. The ground was hot lava and they found any and every ledge, stone or mat they could, to walk safely across the lava. Max created his own obstacle (and solution!) by placing a chair close to a rock and moving carefully between them.

With Alexandra’s poster board full of familiar images with English names, we created a game called “What Do The English Say?”. (Thanks, Alexandra!) Friends rolled dice and landed on a picture. After practicing a proper English accent, we would ask, in unison, “What do the English say?”. If the WF answered correctly, she could stay on the picture. If not, she moved back to start!

One round took us nearly 45 minutes to play! And like every proper Englishwoman and Englishman, (and Wee Friend!) we shook the winner’s hand…and discussed how important good sportsmanship is!

Wee Sprouts today are cucumber slices and carrots. Breakfast was grits and cranberries. For lunch we ate turkey sandwiches on whole wheat bread, carrots and bananas. Snack: Grape tarts!
