Chicks and Easter

Hello everyone,

Last week we shared lots of stories about Mother's day and our mummy's. We talked about all the special things our mum's do for us. We enjoyed making our surprises for our mum's which included decorating a plant pot and planting a sunflower seed in the pot along with our Mother's Day flower and butterfly wreaths. 
Throughout the week we have been busy looking after our seeds and plants in the polytunnel by watering them and topping up the soil on the potatoes. We have enjoyed counting down till the chicks hatch and looking at the information book of how the chick is looking inside the egg. The eggs have begun to crack this weekend which is a little earlier than expected. On Tuesday morning we had our PE session with Mr Treble on the school field and did some team games like egg and spoon race, running race and the frog game. Throughout the week we have really enjoyed playing in our outside area which such lovely weather. Even the suncream came out a few afternoons. On Friday morning a group of children went to watch Year 4 class assembly and in the afternoon a group of children went to the Forest schools area and did some mud painting. Pictures up on display in the classroom. 

This week we will be making some Easter treats to bring home to share with our families. We will also be watching our chicks hatch and earning how to look after them along with holding them. You can watch the chicks hatch live on the facebook page. They have already started to crack. 
On Wednesday it is our pre-school trip with Reception. If the weather forecast is correct, we may have to cancel the trip but we will make that decision on Tuesday and let you know.
We will be sharing lot's of Easter stories throughout the week.
