We had a very exciting day on Friday as when we arrived in the morning 5 of our bantam eggs had hatched. Over the morning another one hatched. We are looking forward to seeing how they grow and change.

Curriculum Information – Term 4
Please have a look at all the different things we will be learning about during term 4. If you have any questions do get in touch.
As the weather improves we will be spending more time outside so you may want to apply sun screen to your child before school.
Sands of Sound ‘island’
There was great excitement when we went to the beach as finally the tide was far enough out that we were able to get to the ‘island’. When we got there the beach was huge and some of the rocks had little moats left round them by the sea. We had a huge area of sand to play on as well. In pairs we took turns to make our way in to the rocky island and have a look at the view. We loved it.
Trip to the burn
We went for a walk up the burn. It was really interesting to see hit the water travelled down towards the sea. We followed it and saw several mini waterfalls. We could great the trickling sing it was making on its journey. When e got closer to the sea we found a back bone. It was exciting to use our imagination as to what it might have been. Some hoped it was from a mermaid, some thought a dinosaur but most thought a whale or dolphin. We also saw lots of shells and pens at the stony beach where the burn flowed into the sea.

Curriculum information term 2
Have a look at what we will be learning about during term 2:
Fantastic play this morning
Shapes and objects
We have started our investigations around 2D and 3D shapes. The children are loving the short activities and getting used to moving on to the next group.
There was great excitement at the height and style of the towers they built using Jenga blocks and they loved building a wall for papier-mâché Humpty Dumpty which they made last week. They worked really hard to colour their monsters carefully, matching the shape with the colour.
Planning, protection and parkour
The children spent a long time planning and adjusting their parkour course until it was just how they wanted it. They the tried it out and are a few attempts decided they needed to add some chalk directions and safety lines to guide them.
Developing language
Some fantastic discussion over pasta shape, sharing food fairly and encouraging Catnap to try some was had.
