Class 9 have really been uplevelling their editing skills this week. We edited a Teams assignment with twenty mistakes - it took a long time to find them all! After this warm up we turned to our own writing from yesterday. Before we handed our learning in we put on our 'fresh eyes' glasses for one last check. Mrs Tomlinson is very proud of how our skills are improving.

This week in Nursery we have started our learning about plants. We have read the book Jaspers Beanstalk and started to think about how plants grow. Jasper wanted his beanstalk to grow and got very imaptient while he waited. We thought about howJasper was feeling at different parts of the story and occasions when we had felt like that - everyone was excited when it was their birthday!
Here is a link to the video if you would like to watch it at home.

We have all been measured against our class beanstalk measuring chart so we can see who is the tallest and who is the shortest - adults and children!
We all had great fun playing the 'Bean Game' making up actions for lots of different beans like jumping beans and runner beans! Mrs Middleton's favourite was french beans when we had to shout 'oooh la la'!
Next week we will be doing some more planting - hopefully outside if the weather improves - and learning how to care for seeds so that they grow into healthy plants

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.
