All Creatures Great and Small! Topic

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! 🐌🐞🕷

Debutots

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!

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!
