Wacky Wednesday

On Wed 12th August we had a Wacky Wednesday themed day at KIDSPACE, based on the Dr Seuss book that Louise kindly brought from her home.
After reading this book for many weeks before hand our Wacky Wednesday was here. "Adults take time to talk to children about coming events which are out of the ordinary, so that they can anticipate and be comfortable with them", Belonging, Te Whaariki.
Well, what wackiness we had.... shoes on the ceiling, a pot plant in the toilet, tables upside down, morning tea outside in the large climbing boxes, the sleepers slept in the art room and Jo-Jo was inside in a cat cage instead of birds Bo and Leelah! "Children develop a growing recognition and enjoyment of 'nonsense' explanations", Exploration, Te Whaariki.
Children since this day have asked "when is Wacky Wednesday again?", and one nanny have arrived asking teachers "what is this Wacky Wednesday, with a plant in the toilet, that I heard about?".
