Spring Term 2

Week 1
 
This term our topic is 'Growing and Changing'. This week we have been reading the story 'The Runaway Pancake'. We have been making faces on pictures of pancakes and colouring in pictures of the story. 
The children have all set some cress seeds in their own pot and are checking them daily to see if they need more water and to see if there is any change to the seeds. We have started to prepare our garden area outside. Children helped to pull up the weeds and then on one area we sprinkled wildflower seeds. 
Week 2
 
This week we started our new reading book 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. The children have used potatoes dipped in paint to print their own caterpillars, they then added googly eyes and drew on some legs. We have had some caterpillars delivered and keep checking them regularly to see how much they have grown. At carpet time we have been talking about what the children can do now that they couldn't do when they were babies.
 
On Wednesday we joined an online story 'Ten Tiny Squirrels'  which was read by the author who wrote the book  Kael Tudor.
