We loved receiving a special delivery this week. It was a basket full of food... and a beautiful new book for us to read...The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch. We enjoyed making predictions and bringing the story to life in our Story Whoosh style. We then wrote our own diaries pretending to be Mr Grinling to explain that had happened on the day his lunch was stolen by those scavenging seagulls.
We have also begun our DT Learning that is linking to our science learning for Healthy Lifestyles and Living Things this half term. We have carried our product research on popular fruit salad combinations and look forward to designing and making our desired products next week.

This week in Nursery we have all been extremely excited to welcome some VERY special visitors. On Monday eggs arrived in Nursery and we carefully placed them inside the incubator and waited and watched hoping that they would hatch. On Wednesday we were delighted to see that the chicks started to hatch - boys and girls - and we loved watching them come out and start to grow.
Also on Monday we received our caterpillars. They were very small and we had to be very careful as we put them in pots with some food. They have already started to get bigger and fatter and we are excited to learn about what will happen to them in the coming weeks when we do lots of learning about the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar next week.
We look forward to welcoming grown ups into Nursery next week to meet the chicks and caterpillars and have a look at all the children's fantastic learning.

There has been an intruder in Year 2! We have had very suspicious activity within our classrooms and learning areas this week. We used our inference skills to work out what had happened and who it could have possibly been breaking into our school over the holidays. CCTV has shown us that a cheeky mouse and his robot friend have left tools, design sheets and foot prints all over over classrooms.
We then created our own design just like the inventor who raided our classrooms!

This week in Nursery we have been doing lots of great learning about old and new toys and what is the same and different about them. We have looked at some old toys , how they work and then made some toys of our own like them - some cups and balls and some penny spinners!
We have written shopping lists for the toy shop and painted our favourite toys as well as playing skittles and wheres the tedyy?
Our book this week has been The Toymaker, a lovely story about Matthew who makes dolls out of wood for his poorly daughter Mary to cheer her up. Many years later Mary comes back with her own daughter to the shop to find the dolls still in the cupboard. We used the story to think about different emotions.
Here is a link to a video of the book if you would like to watch it at home
