Frogs, Spring, Chicks

Hello everyone,

Last week we went to school pond and collected some frog spawn. We put it in classroom and children drew some pictures of the frog spawn. We are going to be watching the frog spawn to see what happens. We have been reading lots of frogs stories and talking about the life cycle of a frog. 

We have been very busy this week tidying our pre-school garden and doing some gardening. The children have really enjoyed potted up plants, emptying our small pond and sweeping up. 

We sang the song of 5 green speckled frogs and have begun to make a display which will go in the number area. The children came up with how to decorate the frogs. 

We have been talking about spring and what happens in Spring. The children brainstormed their ideas and the painted a large spring picture which is up in the Messy area. 

Jennie jigsaw has been talking about healthy and unhealthy foods to us. We have come up with our own lists. 

This week we will be continuing our topic of frogs and spring through stories, poems, songs, crafts and different activities. Hopefully this week we will be getting our chick eggs and putting them in the incubator ready to hatch in 21 days. We will be talking about chicks and observing the eggs. (Surprise for the children.)

We will also be exploring mixing colours and what happens when you mix different colours together. 

We will be starting to prepare our surprises for Mothers Day towards the end of the week.
