Friday 16th May

Rosen and Hendra have had a wonderfully creative week, exploring a variety of media and techniques to produce beautiful artwork and models. Their creations have all been inspired by our "Outdoor Adventure" topic, with a special focus on minibeasts.

In addition to their artistic activities, the children thoroughly enjoyed exploring our outdoor area—cooking up imaginary treats in the mud kitchen, hunting for minibeasts, and riding the bikes.

This week, Rosen and Hendra Class had a fantastic visit to Hasty’s Farm. The children took part in a butterfly trail where they learnt all about the butterfly life cycle, as well as lots of fun facts — including that butterflies taste with their feet!

Then everyone enjoyed a tasty fruit kebab while listening to the story The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The children loved meeting and feeding all the farm animals, including pigs, goats, alpacas, and even a four-day-old chick.

It was an amazing day of learning, which has been continued back at school by creating artwork all about the butterfly life cycle.

The children in Hendra and Rosen class have been enjoying the story of Superworm during Drawing Club. They've impressed us with their imaginative writing and creativity, especially when designing new basecamps for Superworm.

In the outside area this week, the children had great fun in the small world area which they transformed into a lively construction site—using diggers to move equipment and bring their ideas to life.

Water play was another highlight of the week, where the children used brilliant mathematical language to describe and compare the amounts of water in different containers.
