Some of our nursery boys and girls were helping Ms Connor to rehome 33 teeny, tiny caterpillars. First we had to put their special food into a small pot, then very carefully take the caterpillar out of its container and place it into its own pot. We had to do this 33 times!! We will be observing the caterpillars over the next month to see how much they grow and change. We will keep you posted.

We also have our tadpoles in Room C. We keep checking them everyday to see if any have started growing their back legs as this is the next stage in their development.

We would love to read your thoughts and comments.

Also this week we have been investigation minibeasts, discussing their habitats, characteristic and ways to attract more into our nursery garden. So far we managed to find and identify spiders, slaters, slugs, worms and ants. We made some bug hotels using cardboard tubes (very kindly donated by Mackenzie’s dad) and lots of sticks and bark. We will be continuing our investigations over the next few weeks.

FUN IN THE SUN

The nursery boys and girls have been enjoying the wonderful weather this week exploring and experimenting with water.

All They’re Doing Is Splashing, Right?
Wrong! Water play fosters learning in all developmental areas. It provides opportunities for children to experiment with math and science concepts, strengthen their physical skills, advance their social and emotional skills, and enhance language development.
