Easter

Hello everyone,

We hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day. 

Last week we enjoyed listening to some Mother's Day stories and poems. We talked about why our Mummy's are special and how they help us. The children enjoyed preparing Muesli and cutting up all the dried fruit and spooning it in to the bags. They were all very good at threading with a needle to make their Mother's Day threading. We all wrote our names on the label. On Thursday our frog spawn came back and has turned into tadpoles. The children have enjoyed watching them and looking at the changes. On Friday it was Red Nose Day, we had a red snack which was strawberries and croissants with strawberry jam. We watched a video about a little girl called Hami and how the money raised from red nose day had helped her. We talked about where she lived and compared it to where we live. We all drew a funny face on a red nose and coloured in different red noses. In the afternoon we played a water game in teams. We had to transport water from one bucket to another bucket using a cup. The children really enjoyed this and got a little wet. Well done to everyone who has been scooting and biking to school for the Big Pedal. We have been busy keeping a tally. 

For the next two weeks we will be looking at Easter stories and poems. We have asked the children what activities or crafts they would like to do for Easter. They came up with lots of lovely ideas. We will be doing some Easter cooking, waiting with different techniques, Easter egg hunts, Easter decoration and lots more.

We have got 6 days till the eggs hatch and we are all very excited about this. We will be talking about how we can look after the chicks and what they will need once they hatch. We will be drawing and painting pictures of the chicks.

We are watching our tadpole to see them develop some legs and then will be realising them back into the pond.

We will also be playing with Beebot which is a toy which you can programme to move in different directions.
