The children
have returned to school refreshed and raring to go!
The
beanstalks have grown rapidly over the Easter holiday and we have now planted
them on mass, in our outdoor classroom area. Amy’s beanstalk grew the tallest!
We have
planted some fruit trees on the infant playing field. These trees were donated
by the Greenfield Tesco Store, so a big thank you to them!
The tadpoles
have hatched out and are swimming around in our pond. They are now beginning to grow
their back legs.
The children have very much enjoyed designing and making their own armour, shields , swords and
flags in response to St. George’s Day. Following on from this, the children will
be looking at ‘beetle armour’ in the world of the minibeasts.
Outside in
the fine weather, the children have had several
successful bug hunts in the school grounds. The children have been exploring
how to house minibeasts, thinking carefully about what they might need.
Next week
the children will be finding out a bit more about minibeasts in terms of
sub-groups and the variety of species.
