Creative Construction.

Yesterday Nursery showed what creative chameleons and teamwork tigers they can be, as they constructed collaboratively using Duplo. There were a range of thoughtful models created and all groups or individuals described their creations, answering who, what and why questions practising their listening and attention skills.

Little chicks…..

We have had lots of excitement in EYFS this week with the delivery of some eggs from the Happy Chick Company. We have observed the eggs as the chicks have hatched. We have been mesmerised by them…..

We have learnt how to look after the eggs and also the chicks as they have hatched:

We can’t wait to hold them when they get a little bit stronger!

Cheep Cheep…

The children in EYFS were delighted to find that we had some eggs delivered from the Happy Chick Company. We were even more excited to discover that our first chicks have hatched today! The children were in awe…

We have been reading ‘How Does An Egg Hatch?’ by Eric Carle and have been learning the meaning of some key vocabulary from the story.

We have been thinking of how we can look after our chicks whilst they are in our care. The children have helped prepare the brooder box so it is cosy and warm ready for our chicks to move into.The children have also created some beautiful work about how to care for our chicks…

The children are showing such kindness and love towards our special friends. What super stars you are!

Spinach Cake

Year 1 enjoyed a treat today when Mrs Wojcik brought in a spinach cake she had made. Most of us had never had a green cake before and were surprised by how delicious it was!

Thank you Mrs Wojcik, we’d love it if you could share the recipe with us.
