This week the children had a very special delivery… 11 eggs were delivered to our classroom in an incubator and we have had the very important job of looking after them. The children checked the eggs each day to look out for signs of them hatching. Soon enough, we started to see cracks in the eggs and eventually we had 11 chicks! The children have been so excited and have loved observing, holding and looking after our special visitors. They have inspired lots of art work and writing which will lead into our fact writing next week and exploration of a chickens life cycle… right in time for Easter!

The children had a fantastic day at Forest School this week. They used their teamwork skills to complete a range of fun activities. These included making a fire and toasting marshmellows, cutting wood, making wood necklaces, going on a scavenger hut and lots more!

This week the children were very excited to see our ‘eggs’ hatch into Dinosaurs. We then read stories about Dinosaurs including the book ‘Giganotosaurus’. The children have shown enthusiasm and excitement learning about Dinosaurs and have completed lots of child led learning based around this topic. In maths this week we continued our topic on Height. The children have become confident using vocabulary such as ‘Taller and Shorter’. We have also been practising our phase 3 digraphs and have completed a range of different phonic activities.
