What a great week we’ve had getting involved in lots of different activities including plenty of outdoor learning opportunities.

We had a super day in the Yurt on Monday. Sue expertly showed us how to make a fire.( not a firelighter in sight!) After she’d built a roaring fire we made scrambled eggs on top of the wood burner which we ate with toast. Delicious!

After our snack we made lots of footprints in the paint with wellies. We needed these for our special treasure hunt in the afternoon. As well as it being great fun, it was also part of our work on “Measures” in Maths.

In the afternoon we used the footprints to lead us to treasure! We hope the dads/special people/heros in our children’s lives enjoyed the beautiful rocks we sent home.

We continue to learn about plants. The children are becoming familiar with what plants need to survive. One group worked on the plant labels and another group learnt more about the Brussel sprouts that we planted. They are growing so well but unfortunately something is eating them! We tried to guess what it might be including squirrels, slugs, snails but we think it might be caterpillars.

We’ve been celebrating lots of Birthdays this month which we’ve put on Class Dojo for you to enjoy. We also celebrated Leni’s Half Term Achiever on Friday. Very well done Leni. We are all so proud of you.

Babs, June and the Team.
