Hello and welcome to this week’s blog post.  

We now have chicks!!  Yesterday the chicks started to hatch and we currently have four.  The children have named them Chocolate, Caroline, Claire and Aimee Dig Yellow!!!  They are very cute and the children have enjoyed looking at them.

In Class 2 we have started practising for sports day races on a Monday in the school hall.  We will start practising on the school field on different days after half term.  We have been to Forest School and used the new flower press.  We have started planting (thank you for all of the donations of seeds), building with the large blocks in the garden and we found ladybird eggs on the tree.  We have continued with the cake station and the children are becoming more independent with this.

In Class 1 we have baked some savory muffins due to an interest in baking. We have explored mixing juices from an orange, lime and a lemon, discovering how this may smell. We have been to forest school and went on our very own bear hunt. We have continued to carry out helicopter stories and the children are starting to write their own stories.


Thank you for all your support with the Disco and AGM.  This month's newsletter has been emailed today.

Hello and welcome to this week’s blog post.   This week we have added 20 eggs to our incubator and we now need to wait 21 sleeps (approximately) for them to hatch! Class 2 have started planting, if you can donate any seeds or plants please take an item from the wish list (on Class 1’s garden fence).   We also have a new water table and the children have been exploring this.   Some of the children wanted to find out more about nocturnal animals and used the iPad.   We also found ladybirds in the garden and added them to the bug hotel. In Class 1 the children have been role playing as fire fighters, they used spray bottles filled with water to put out the fire. They have also measured how tall the sweet peas have grown. Tomorrow the staff team will be attending Helicopter Stories training with Trisha Lee from make believe arts.   Caroline has already attended training with Trisha and the children in Class 2 enjoy making up their own stories to act out on ‘stage’.   So

Hello and welcome to this week’s blog post.   T his week we have been counting down the days waiting for the eggs to hatch.  We now need to wait 14 sleeps (approximately). Today we had a visit from some lambs and the children from both classes had an opportunity to meet them. Class 2 have some new tadpoles and the children have been watching them eat the lettuce we have fed them.  Earlier in the week, some of the children found mint in the garden and wanted to use it in the mud kitchen.  We then provided some mint in the classroom for the children to explore with scissors and mix with various media.  The children have been making pirate maps using teabags and using chalks to make marks in the garden.  We experimented with raisins and sparkling water to make the raisins dance and the children have worked together to make a river in the sand pit.  On Monday we went to the school hall for music and movement and we have spent a lot of time outside in the sunshine.  We have plan
