We have spent time this week looking at our garden and discussed the changes that are taking place, we talked about what needs to be done to maintain and help the plants grow throughout Spring. We planted some new seeds and we will be monitoring their growth. We took the weeds out from our garden and while doing so we looked at the roots of the plants. We planted sunflower seeds, leeks and tomatoes. We learnt about parts of the plants and we identified the important factors for the plant growth. Maybe we will plant some magic beans to see if a beanstalk will grow.

I hope you all have a great long weekend and we look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.🌞🌻

Come on sunshine

The children have settled well and we have been focusing on new life and lifecycles.

We have observed the children exploring the tadpole area and they have identified the changes that have taken place over the holidays. During discussions the children have talked about the lifecycle of a butterfly. Through discussion and discovery, the children have explored the lifecycles of different creatures. We have predicted the next steps for the tadpoles and we are waiting for our caterpillars to arrive. We have created an area for the children to observe the changes taking place.

We are hoping that the weather will start to improve. I am never sure what to wear on my feet, one day I am in boots the next I am in sandals AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

The warmer weather will mean that the children can explore different elements to our outdoor provision and the sand pit is the most popular. I apologise if they come home with sandy feet but think about the learning that has taken place as a result of that. Then you can hoover it all up off the carpet.

I hope you all have a good weekend.
