Clay dinos

Today we talked about different types of dinosaurs and why some had sharp teeth, spikes or long necks. We decided to make clay dinos, and add different materials to make teeth, spines and spikes. We hope you like the results!

Dinosaurs!

This week we have been taken over by dinosaurs! We've really enjoyed thinking about what might be in the giant egg we found in a nest in Early Years. We have had lots of ideas from a baby elephant to a blue bird to a gigantic dinosaur!

We have shaped dinosaur eggs, been fossil detectives, made play dough dinosaurs, dug a dinosaur nest in the sandpit, explored some frozen dinosaurs and lots more. Lots of inspiration to talk and pretend together and to write about what we have found.

Ask your child to tell you what they have enjoyed so far this week.

Exploring outdoors

Today has been a beautiful day outdoors in Early Years

We have enjoyed making sandcastles in the sandpit, and finding hidden letters which allow us to make words!

We are pouring and collecting water in our water wall. Which container holds the most?

Our new muddy kitchen has arrived and we are taking orders and feeding each other mud pie!

We have added in two wheel scooters to provide challenge for the children. They are very popular!

Our new tiny willow igloos (wigloos) are great spaces to talk and read together.

We are looking out for signs of spring together. Let us know if you see any when you are out in the park or garden.
