Birds

Firstly a big thank you to all of you who returned wow slips telling us about your Easter holidays, as well as updating us on what your child has been doing at home.These slips will be displayed and then be put in your child's respective learning journeys.
Due to the surprise hot spell last week, we were grateful for the speedy return of sun protection request forms. We still have some outstanding, and would appreciate if these can be returned asap, so that your child can safely enjoy outside play when temperatures rise again.On these days you will find a tick list by the entrance door so you can inform us if you've already applied suncream to your child.
Just a reminder, can all sunhats and  sun creams be clearly labelled to avoid confusion, thank you.
Last week the children all took part in planting grass,courgette,pea and squash seeds. Over the coming weeks we will be following their progress ( UW ).It was lovely to hear about the vegetables some children grew at home as well.
We also had a visit from Julia who brought in baby chicks, which the children all had an opportunity to individually hold ( of course we took photos! )
Appropriately then we're turning our attention to birds this week.
We'll be setting up a bird feeder tray with which we hope to glimpse the birds feeding .
We will also go outside and use binoculars to spot any birds in the vicinity, and discuss the noises they make, and the textures of feathers ( EAD ). We'll also mention flightless birds ( UW )
Every child will be making hand print wings for their own bird artwork.
Books which we'll be looking at are Goodnight Owl, I'm Not Cute and The Chuckling Ducklings. Song time will also take on a bird theme! Helen.
