This week we focused on the season ‘spring’. We explored what we can see, hear, taste and feel in this fresh season full of new life and growth. We looked at the changes of the season, prompting the arrival of springtime animal babies. The children created stories around the soft toy farm animals and their babies which moved into the farm under the stairs.

In the number room we looked at some of the beautiful flowers we see growing at this time of year. The children enjoyed a variety of flower games and activities.

In the letter room we focused on the weather this season brings. Everyone painted their own water coloured umbrella. Whilst Incy Wincy spider and his family all came out to play and were repeatedly washed down the water spouts by the rain cloud and sieves.

During the week we had a lot of fun in our morning and afternoon cross-country races. The whole school got involved, loudly cheering the children on, as Nursery raced laps around the playground.

After two and a half weeks of care and attention, the children were delighted to take their beanstalks home showing varying stages of growth and height.
