Hello Everyone, 

We have had a lovely week of exploring and learning together. The children have been growing in confidence with their number activities and have been very interested in counting bugs in the garden. They know to go and look under the logs if they want to find the worms! We enjoyed creating new colours using the paints and starting on some crafting work for our Mother’s day surprises. 

We have lots more creative skills to put to the test this week as we finish our creations. We will also be looking about what changes take place in spring this week.

Hello Everyone, 

We had a great week of learning together and loved the story of Elmer. The children were very creative with their skills and made Elmers with many different patterns on. We did some colour hunts and counted to see how many different things everyone had found. We enjoyed time in the garden in the sunshine and started to see some of the different bugs that were living under the logs. This week the story focus will be ‘The Hungry Caterpillar’ . I am sure the children are going to love this story and learning about life cycles.
