The frogs are back!

It’s that time of year again and the return of our local frogs. Each day we are observing more and more frogs laying their frogspawn. Some of the frogs have been looking after their frogspawn, trying to protect them from predators.




We have been observing other signs of life down in the forest. We have found a variety of animal tracks, some of which we have seen before in the snow!






See if you can discover more patterns and changes in nature. Be curious and explore.

Story time

We have really enjoyed sharing a story with parents and grandparents.

Goldilocks

A letter has been delivered to our class from the Forest Fairies. We read their message. 
It said:


So, we decided to set off to Forest School to investigate.
 
When we arrived in the forest, we discovered that there had been an incident indeed! We found an upturned red chair, a pair of red shoes, 3 bowls, 2 spoons and porridge oats scattered all over the ground and in two of the bowls.





‘There is a red chair that has fallen over. Remember in the story of Goldilocks the chair breaks,’ commented Lorimer.    

‘There is porridge on the floor,’ added Rosa.

‘I know who makes porridge. Goldilocks and the three bears,’ said William Yates.

‘It might be Goldilocks because there are three bowls, added Evelyn.

‘There is a large bowl, a medium sized bowl and a small bowl. A daddy one, a mummy one and a baby one,’ explained Jack.

‘The little bowl is nearly empty. Goldilocks has eaten it,’ commented Rowan.

The trail of porridge oats on the ground gave us the idea of making our own tracks and trails.








Back in class we drew maps and plans of the clues we found in the forest.
We have written to the fairies to let them know what clues we have found, and who we think has been in the forest. We also decided to design and make ‘wanted ‘posters to put up around school and in the forest to help track down Goldilocks.

On the theme of Goldilocks we decorated our classroom door to reflect this familiar story.
We have really enjoyed our story times this week, with parents and grandparents, to help us celebrate ‘World Book Day 2016’.


We wish all mums a very ‘Happy Mother’s Day,’on Sunday.
