Our Hats and Shades day was to learn all about how to be safe in the sun! We raised £55 for the Cancer Fund for Children. Well Done everyone!
To complement our ‘At the Beach’ Topic and ‘Ship Ahoy’ Topic Exploris came with their touch tank! We had lots of fun learning about all the different sea creatures and how to keep the sea clean and look after the animals.
To finish of our ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ Topic we had a visit from Party Animals NI. David brought lots of animals to show us including an African Millipede, Hissing Cockroaches, a snake, a bearded dragon and a chinchilla!
In this topic we have loved watching our caterpillars grow into butterflies! 🐛🦋 We have been very good at looking after them and giving them everything they need before they fly away. We have also enjoyed fining our own insects in the environment, including lots of snails, ladybirds and spiders! 🐌🐞🕷
♻ On Tuesday we had an exciting visit from Mr Rat’s Recycling Show. Here we learnt all about what we can and can’t recycle, which bin to use and how to keep places clean and litter free! We enjoyed the story very much! ♻

Over the last 10 weeks we have been very lucky to have a weekly Sports Cool lesson with Coach Gary. He has taught us lots of fundamental skills, yoga and even golf! We have thoroughly enjoyed these lessons!
Over the last 9 weeks we have enjoyed a weekly session of Debutots. In these sessions we dip our tiny toes into the world of stories, words and sounds. The children delight in a multi-sensory blend of storytelling, puppets, bubbles and music. Each week activities are sent home so that parents can explore the story at home too!
In this topic we have ben learning all about Spring and growth! We have enjoyed spring cleaning our home corner and planting different seeds in Forest School. We have found out about the importance of recycling and how we can help at school and home. We have also loved talking about when we were a baby and how much we have grown!
In our Fairytale topic we have had lots of fun retelling different stories and dressing up as our favourite characters! We have also made castles, crowns and magic potions!
A visit from Jack and from Goldilocks!
Even the staff got involved too!
A big thank you to all of those who donated to our Book Aid cause. We raised £44.10.
This topic we have enjoyed discovering all about the Lunar New Year and the Celebration of Love. We have shown different ways how we love and look after ourselves, our friends and our learning environment.
