This week has been a mixture of British Science Week and Mother’s Day. We have:

* Made Mother’s Day cards.

*Made flowers and thought about why we love our Mummy.

*Made a wormery.

*Used torches to look through our skin.

*Done some love heart threading.

*Bikeability.

We have had a lovely but busy  ‘World Book Day Week’. 

*On Monday our focus story was ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’. We had fun in the messy tuff tray, made a Bear Hunt map using the story, did some Bear Hunt yoga and went on an outdoor bear hunt of our own!

* Tuesday – The Very Hungry Caterpillar and we made some beautiful butterflies and had some snacks that the caterpillar ate in the story.

*Wednesday – Goldilocks and the Three Bears and we went to Forest School to find the characters. In the afternoon we had some lovely warm porridge and tried some different toppings.

*Thursday – World Book Day: We had a bear shaped snack (mini pancakes with fruit), Three Little Pigs tuff tray and did some great character and setting cutting which the children then stuck on to boxes.

In the afternoon we had a ‘Going on a Bear Hunt’ themed Forest school with Mrs. T and even got to toast some marshmallows!

*Friday – Gruffalo and we made a Gruffalo crumble and some tree themed place names.

We have had a lovely first week back! Lots of great play which the children have initiated themselves. 

We have also:

*Looked for signs of Spring.

*Enjoyed a very muddy Forest School session.

*Learnt about St. David’s Day and Wales, eating leek and potato soup, Welsh Rarebit and Welsh cakes. The children even learnt to count to five in Welsh!
