Silly soup with Miss Gordon
In this video, Miss Gordon demonstrates a silly soup. This is a game we love to play in Trotwood.
Collect together items in the house that rhyme. (mat, hat, cat) place the objects on the floor.
Use a bowl and spoon as props to act out the song.
Invite the children in turn, to choose an object to put into the soup and place it in the bowl.
After each turn, stir the soup and sing the following song to recite the growing list of things that end up in the soup.
Sing the first part of the song to the tune of ‘Pop Goes the Weasel’:
I’m making lots of silly soup
I’m making soup that’s silly
I’m going to cook it in the fridge
To make it nice and chilly
In goes… a fox… a box… some socks…
We have attached a rhyming game here.
Look at each line. Can you see all the rhyming words? Now, see if you can spot the odd one out?

Small world with Mrs Balderson.
Mrs Balderson is missing playing with you all. She has had fun at home to remind you how to have some family fun with small world play.
Have a go yourself. We are really excited to see what ideas and stories you come up with.
One of the beneficial aspects of small world play is its ability to help children emotionally.
Small world play allows children to become aware of other’s emotions, but it can also help children get to grips with how they are feeling themselves. Any worries or concerns can often be bought up through the safety of the character a child has created.
Have loads of fun.
