Animal habitats have sparked huge interest in the children who have been participating in a wide range of\u00a0opportunities to\u00a0learn about where animals live. Not one species has been missed as the children explore and investigate habitats such as the jungle, the sea, and the forest and discover which animals live in these environments. This has evolved into discussions about human habitats and our own homes.<\/p>\n
Mini beasts have been a huge focus in the nursery garden with the children learning what these animals need to survive, using the i pads to answer their ‘I wonder’ statements before\u00a0using the information they have found to create some wonderful and interesting animal habitats. These have included the Snail Hotel and the very popular Pig Hotel.\u00a0As well as this, \u00a0some children have participated in creating bird feeders, all of which has encouraged wildlife to visit the garden where the children have fully engaged in animal spotting, exploring the creatures they have found further with the aid of magnifiers.<\/p>\n
Indoors, the children have brought the outdoors in and created some wonderful habitats for animals using the paints, clay and playdough while adding sticks, leaves and stones amongst other natural materials.\u00a0 The blocks and small world resources have been used together to create\u00a0forests,\u00a0jungles and farms encouraging the children to sort and group. The possibilities for learning are endless!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
