Hello and welcome to this week’s blog post.  

The chicks have now moved onto their new home, the children have had a lovely time watching them grow and taking care of them.


In Class 2 we have noticed that the tadpoles have started to grow legs!  After half term we will have some caterpillars.  This week we have used our new woodwork area in the garden and have been making lots of dens for the children to play in.  The children have been pretending to be chicks and made themselves beaks.  On Tuesday we went to Forest school and used hammers to make leaf prints on pieces of material.  Today the children requested that we make chocolate cakes, so we did!


In Class 1 we have planted some vegetables in our garden to support our children learn about taking care of the environment. This week the children created a police station outside - the children created whistles, handcuffs and a jail. Last week we read 'Going on a bear hunt' in forest school, this week the children have been taking themselves on a bear hunt involving the whole class. Today we went to forest school, we created bird feeders and mud paint.


Letters are in the children's trays regarding the transition to Class 2 and up to school.  Next week is half term, we look forward to seeing you all in June!

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
