There has been great excitement in nursery this week as all 10 of our caterpillars have made the change inside their chrysalis into butterflies! We enjoyed observing them in the net, flying around and drinking sugar water from fruit. How exciting!
Well done to Noah and Brodie for sending photos of their Spring Learning. Brodie fed lambs at Graves Park while Noah went for a spring walk in Bradfield, where he noticed lots of bluebells and bumblebees buzzing around. Noah has also been growing some strawberries and sunflowers.
Great work guys!
We hope more children send us some spring learning photos.

This week in nursery we have been doing paintings of real flowers. We have looked carefully and selected the correct colours. We are so proud of how hard you have tried. Well done, we have some budding artists in the making.
This week we have all enjoyed planting a seed to grow a sunflower. We talked about what a sunflower needs in order to grow big and strong.
This week we have been on some lovely walks around school to spot signs of spring. We looked at blossom, flowers. We blew dandelion clocks. We listened and heard birds singing.
We had a fantastic day at the Farm yesterday! The weather was lovely and we had a fun time seeing lots of different animals. We loved the horses and foals. We got to feed the goats and alpacas on our farm tour. We saw mammals and reptiles in their tanks. We were so well behaved and asked and answered lots of questions. What an amazing day we had!
We have been practising our fine motor skills and food knowledge skills this week. We have been selecting healthy foods and cutting them out to stick onto our plates this week.
This week we are very excited to have some caterpillars arrive. We have been careful passing them around to look at how small they are. We are eager to see how big they will grow.
As part of our learning in our seaside topic we are very excited to be planning a visit to Cleethorpes. Whilst we are there we will be having lunch from the chip shop, a donkey ride, an ice cream and spending time playing on the beach.
We have been making and eating delicious chocolate nests for Easter in Nursery. The children did such a good job working together to crunch and squish up the shredded cereal, melt the chocolate and stir together the mixture.
