Our African snails are growing very quickly. The children are helping to care for them and take them home at weekends. We were very fortunate to receive a new tank as a gift from one of our parents. The children enjoyed relocating the snails into their new home. They are always looking up facts about the snails and enjoy telling us what they have found out! 🐌
As part of our Understanding of the World, we have started our topic on Growing. The children have planted sunflower seeds and prepared runner bean seeds so that they can watch the changes. Our potatoes are also growing well! 🌻🫛🫘🥔
This week we have been learning about Easter. We read the Easter story and watched some clips on Cbeebies 'Let's Celebrate Easter'. The children had a visit from the Easter bunny! They took part in an Easter egg hunt. The children were very excited! 🐰 They have also made Easter nests and taken part in Easter craft activities.
We are taking part in Grow Your Own Potatoes 2024. Our potatoes were busy ‘chitting’ for a few weeks but this week, the children planted them. 🥔 🥔
This week we have been reading the story Monkey Puzzle. We have been learning about the different animals that live in the rainforests. The children created rainforests using the large blocks and the Gears.
As part of our topic on Dragons, Castles, and Knights, we have been reading the story of Zog by Julia Donaldson. We looked at castles and their different designs and learnt about knights and their armour. We celebrated with a ‘mini medieval banquet’ and tried some medieval dancing. We made our own sandwiches and cakes. Mrs Dean very kindly baked the cakes for us.
World Book Day
The children all looked amazing and we shared some wonderful books during our story times! 📕
