This week we have started our garden topic. We have been exploring flowers and insects that we might find in the garden.

We have been organising seeds and petals by colour and counting how many we have. The children have made their own flowers using pom poms dipped in paints and we have made insects in the playdough.

We had a great time exploring forest school this week looking at all the flowers and plants and we even found some worms!

This week we read the story of Higgly hen. We did activities based around Easter and eggs.

The children explored the Easter tuff spot, sorted and counted eggs and we even had an Easter egg hunt in forest school. The children took a particular interest in the different colours and patterns we could see on the Easter eggs.

This week we invited the parents from day care to come and join us for a stay and play session. This session fell on world book day so we had lots of exciting activities based around our favourite stories!

We celebrated world book day this week with a Julia Donaldson themed day.

We set up activities based on our favourite books and the children came dressed up as some of their favourite book characters. We also shared some of our favourite stories together on the carpet.

This week we have been learning all about space with our zoom to the moon story. We made our own rocket in the role play area, made aliens in the play dough and explored making night sky pictures using the chalks and the glitter.

This week we read the story ‘walking through the jungle’.

We have explored different sounds and ways to move our bodies, like the animals in the story. We have painted pictures of the animals and made our own binoculars ready to go for an animal hunt in forest school.

The children have enjoyed sorting the different wild animals into groups and counting how many they have.
