SAFE, HAPPY, LEARNING, RESPECTFUL
Lots of fun outdoors continues in Nursery, the children have been exploring lots of different sensory in the water tray, 'baking' in the mud kitchen, drawing, jumping, climbing, building, dancing and so, so, so much more.........
We are creating our own Fairy Gardens! We have begun to build little fairy gardens in our outdoor area as well as indoors..... we have added lots of real life and natural materials to these areas and the children are fully engaged in imaginative play in these areas....
We have enjoyed watching our caterpillars change from being really small to bigger, then bigger still, making their cocoons before finally changing into butterflies. As always this has sparked so much interest and conversations within the rooms with the children learning so much about this particular lifecycle.
After the caterpillars had hatched into butterflies last week we found out the like fruit and sugary water to eat and it helps to "make them strong to fly"
time for a team goodbye!
then they were carefully lifted out of the net before they flew off.
goodbye butterflies

IMG_4170.MOVThis week we have also been reviewing our growing and planting. In February and March we were in the pollytunnel planting seeds in earth and pots. We've been watering them and bringing them out into the sunshine to help them grow. Time to bring them home!
'Mine is a sunflower. How high will it grow?'
'I know mine is a pumpkin'
We also have some fruit growing in our garden, they are ripening and we are on the hunt for an early harvest!
'We found a raspberry!'
'We know it's ripe because it's red all the way round!'
Our veggie patch has pumpkins
And our apples are starting to grow on the trees . . . they're quite small just now.
The plums are growing too!
We have learned alot from growing our own fruit . . . now it's time to learn about fruit from a hot country! And what better way than with the Handa Surprise story!
We have read this story a few times this week and we know all the fruit Handa carries.
Now to find out what the fruit feels like.
Now to find out how to actually carry fruit using a Ugandan fruit basket!
It was tricky to do without holding the edges . . .
. . . but Mrs McKay managed!
Breakfast Club brothers had a go too!
The next question is, how many leaves does a pineapple have? We have written down some suggestions and will tell you what we find out next week!
We have news of our baby chicks! They hatched! And they chirped alot (thanks to some recordings!) We were so excited!
We have waited 21 days for our chicks to hatch! We found the empty egg shells.
We counted each day and scored them off on our daily calendar till we reached 21!
We play very gently with the little chicks and have shown them all round nursery.
