Theme Notes Series 276: Put On Your Hat (Thursday)
This week in Play School we explore the theme of “Put on Your Hat” through music, stories, craft and play. Every day this week, we visit the Play School hat shop where a hat for every occasion can be found. On Wednesday, we take a special ride with Justine as she puts on a helmet and travels to Play School on a motorbike.

IDEAS FOR LATER
- Set up a silly hat shop. Make lots of silly hats to sell! You could make a sparkle-arkle hat from tin foil, a kitchen pot hat, a colander hat, a sock hat and a pom-pom hat. What silly hats can you think of to sell?
- Make a clown hat and dress up as a silly clown.
- Make a space shuttle from foil and a plastic bottle and astronauts from cardboard rolls.
- A space station can be made from a large cardboard box.
