This week we are learning all about buses and on Thursday we will all  go on a bus trip around the school. Let’s sing a song about buses with Mr Tumble.

Okay let’s sing it again and everyone can join in and do the actions. Play The Wheels on the Bus Song

Now, we are going to make a bus on the carpet and all go for a ride. Let's grab some chairs and something round for a steering wheel. Okay everyone, all aboard. Close the doors and everyone fasten their seatbelts. Children - where do you want to go today?  Okay, let’s go. Let’s play our bus song again and remember everyone needs to join in.

Wow, that was so much fun! What other forms of transport can you think of?

Let’s play a game. Turn on your listening ears? What transport do you hear? Transport Guess the Sound Game

We are going to do bus role play. What do we need? Let’s get some chairs? Who wants to be the driver? What can we use as a steering wheel? Okay all aboard. Close the doors and everyone fasten their seatbelts. How many people are on the bus? Where do we want to go? Beach? Zoo? Park? Space? Let’s sing the wheels on the bus song and everybody can have a chance to pick an different action to do.

Today I have something very exciting to tell you! We are going on a special outing…do you think you can guess what we are going to do, let’s play a game and you can see if you can guess!

Reveal Game

We are going on a trip on a bus around our school!

We can read a fun story about Leo who is waiting patiently for his bright blue bus to arrive!

Is This The Bus For Us?

Let’s have a practice of some songs that we can sing together on our bus journey:

Wheels on the Bus

I am the Music Man

Old Macdonald 

Let’s go and find our buses!

Butterflies and Monkeys will head to the front gate for 08:45.

Zebras and Elephants will head to the front gate for 09:00.

When we get on the bus we must climb the steps very carefully, sit down beautifully and wear our seatbelts.

Off we go! Can you hear the engine? Can hear the horn beep? Can you see the windscreen wipers moving? So many exciting things to see and hear!

This week we will share some photos of your child enjoying our bus ride around the school grounds, noting if your child can follow directions from the teacher as well as remembering to follow our Koala Way.
