Fox Class News 14.6.19 Mrs Graham and The Early Years Team What a busy start to our last half term we have had! The weather has been so wet, but we have still managed to have lots of fun! In Reception we have begun our term by exploring life-cycles. We have been finding out about the life-cycle of a frog. We went pond dipping and although we didn’t manage to find any tadpoles or frogs, we did find lots of other creatures which we all found very interesting. This week we are exploring the butterfly life-cycle, we have 5 ‘very hungry caterpillars’ of our own and we have noticed they already have ‘doubled’ in size! We have been learning about doubling this week too! We are also really looking forward to watching The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show at the theatre next week. In the Nursery the children have been finding out about 2D shapes this week, they have been making pictures using shapes and using the ‘Tap Tap’ and Geoboard resources. It has been lovely getting to know the children who are coming into Reception in September a little better. They all settled in really well on Thursday morning, we had fun holding the snails and enjoyed meeting some of the new children from other nurseries too!
