This Mothers\u2019 Day, Norfolk House School enjoyed hosting the lovely mothers of their pupils. Mothers and pupils spent time creating fun and craft activities allowing mother and child to bond. The activities ranged from singing together as a whole class, creating book covers, dressing up and drawing silhouettes of each other. Here is a taste of what the mothers did.<\/p>\n
Transition began by singing together as a whole class, including the mums. Each table had its very own activity; ranging from moulding play dough, doing arts and crafts, reading books and playing board games or they had the option of reading with mum on the carpet.<\/p>\n
As the Mothers\u2019 Day drew to a close the mothers and their children couldn’t resist having one last song. The mothers and children loved the event and all the Transition mothers can’t wait for the next one.<\/p>\n
Reception sang the song \u2018I love my Mummy\u2019 to their mothers then every child played board games with their mothers .To end the afternoon the children and their mummies sat down to watch a black and white programme called \u201cThe Wooden Tops\u201d Reception and their mothers had an amazing time at this Mothers\u2019 Day event and they all look forward to many more.<\/p>\n
Year 1 had a Victorian theme which the mothers were amazed by. The theme included Year 1 creating hand crafted dolls and cup in a ball games. All the children and mothers had a great time working together to make their dolls and cup in a ball. Overall, the mothers loved the Victorian theme and the time they spent bonding with their child.<\/p>\n
Year 2 opened Mothers\u2019 Day by singing a song called ‘It’s Mother’s Day’. Then they created cards with a heart in the middle and gave their mummies cut out vouchers of what they would be entitled to receive from their children on Mothers\u2019 Day. One of the vouchers entitled mum to a free hug, which went down very well. The mummies were excited to see their children during the event but were even more excited to take part in the singing and making sock puppets. Everyone loved the event and the song was so catchy even Miss Gill joined in.
\nYear 3 designed book covers and wrote blurbs as the characters they were dressed up as. The mothers enjoyed dressing up with their children and being creative, writing the blurbs and designing the front covers. All the mothers of Year 3 said, \u201cI can’t wait to come back next year!\u201d<\/p>\n
Year 4 created bookmarks that were designed in the shape of a flower. The mothers enjoyed the craftwork and the creativity with their sons and daughters. Year 5 constructed plant pots out of craft foam with flowers in the middle; each petal had its own sentence such as: \u2018I love my Mummy because\u2019 and in that space they would say the reasons they love their mummy.<\/p>\n
Year 6 created silhouettes with mothers. Mr Morgans had carefully crafted frames for the silhouettes to be placed. The children and Mothers of Year 6 thoroughly enjoyed their last Mothers\u2019 Day at Norfolk House School. We received plenty of positive feedback such as: \u2018Best Mothers\u2019 Day ever!\u2019 and \u2018I definitely had a lovely afternoon.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
