Last week we read the story ‘The very hungry caterpillar.

We have had lots of fun making caterpillars with our moms and dads.

We have also been very creative making butterfly pictures and printing circles using paint to make long caterpillars.

We have been watching the caterpillars in our classroom getting very big.

We have been learning a new nursery rhyme.

Our new topic this half term is ‘In the garden’.
We have been having fun looking at mini beasts and playing in the flower shop.

Thank you to all the parents who brought a hat in and stayed to help their children decorate their Easter Bonnet. Everybody did an amazing job and produced beautifully decorated hats. All the children were very excited to wear their fantastic bonnets to show the rest of the school.

Last week we read the story the Ravenous Beast. We looked at different fruits and vegetables during the week and talked about healthy eating.

We made some monster sandwiches. The children all felt a sense of achievement when they spread the butter and chose the toppings to make their monster face on their own sandwich. We hope they enjoyed eating them.

We had fun making sheep and singing Old McDonald had a farm.

This week we have been singing the nursery rhyme Old MacDonald. We have been reading the book Cows in the Kitchen and have been learning all about the farm and the animals you find there.

When our parents came in to nursery we made a fluffy sheep together and sang Old MacDonald.

We have also had fun playing with the farm yard toys in nursery. It was great fun moving the animals around and playing with the hay. It looked just like a real farm. >

For our topic Amazing Animals this half term we have had some pet African land snails come to stay in nursery. We are finding out what they like to eat and are looking closely at them.
