Following on from the children’s interest in weddings last week, the children have been dressing up in bridal dresses and suits. They have been in role as attendees at a wedding ceremony as both guests and bride and groom. They have been learning new vocabulary such as bride, groom, bridesmaid, best man, ceremony, invitations and wedding cake. One of the children commented, “I need to say my vows.” As the children have been role playing getting married, they have walked around the garden while others have been calling out, “Congratulations!”
