Last week nursery we were very excited to receive our caterpillars in the post, they were very small as they had just hatched! We discussed our knowledge of caterpillar to butterfly life cycles from the Eric Carle book of The Hungry Caterpillar. All of the children gently passed them round to have a good look at them.

Yesterday we were amazed at how much are caterpillars have grown over the weekend, we decided they must be thriving from the warm conditions in nursery!

Over the last week in nursery we have been discussing things we have done in the half term break, some of the children decided to draw a picture of their experiences.

As you can see they produced some fabulous pictures!

The children have had a wonderful time throughout their Forest School sessions, recently we have been learning about British Wildlife and how to safely climb trees with their friends!

Over the past few weeks in nursery we have been very creative, with a focus on farms, the children have loved painting, gluing and sticking, and making farm animals!

Last week in nursery we were food producers for a couple of sessions, we all worked brilliantly as a team to turn cream into butter! The children were amazed it changed from a liquid into spreadable butter that they could eat on some nice fresh bread! Super shaking nursery, well done!

Over the last few weeks in nursery the children have loved learning about farms, We have learned lots about farm animals, food production including crops and even had some real baby chicks visit us from the reception class!

Last week in nursery the children loved celebrating Saint George’s Day, we shared and acted out the story of Saint George and the Dragon, explored colour mixing by making bubble wrap printing dragons, dressed in red and white and had lots of discussions relating to knights and dragons!
