Our eggs have arrived. We are watching and waiting to see what will happen!

Spring and Growth

We have come back from the Easter holidays to beautiful weather and have been delighted to spend time in our outdoor classroom.

This term we are exploring Spring and growth.

Early Years use the stories and themes we are reading as the basis of our play in continuous provision. We have enjoyed exploring the Hungry Caterpillar story using the props in our sensory tray.

There was lots of excitement when our real caterpillars arrived.  We have loved watching them grow bigger each day.We've loved dressing up as butterflies outside and wrapping up in a paper roll cocoon. 

We punched holes and threaded ribbon leaf caterpillars to make our fingers strong.

We have also had some frogspawn in class and looked closely to see it change.

We were able to play imaginatively with the frogs in our water tray pond.

We have also been planting beans, lettuces and other seeds ready to plant in our raised beds outside which we have weeded together.
