It was lovely to welcome the children back in after the Easter break.

This term we have started learning about planting and growing.

We discussed the various parts of a plant and what it needs to make it grow. All the children then chose a different seed and we have planted them into pots in the Nursery Garden.

We are also going to plant beans in a clear plastic pot so we can watch the roots and stem develop.

On Friday afternoons one of our parents has volunteered to come and do some gardening with the children. We are planning tidy the area and plant lots of exciting things….

The children have been making wooden hedgehogs in our woodworking area with another one of our parents. Learning how to be safe when using the different tools.

We are looking at repeating patterns in maths, can the children copy, continue, and create their own patterns

We have some caterpillars in Nursery so that will link with learning about lifecycles. We have also been discussing the lifecycle of a frog and the children made their own non-fiction zig zag books

We are continuing with our helicopter stories, in which the children create and then act out their own stories.

We are also having a sponsored bike ride and obstacle course and will be taking part in health week.
