24.04.23 - This coming week in Early Years

Hello everyone!

We have had a very busy first week back and the children are enjoying our new project "Minibeasts". We have spent this week learning about caterpillars and butterflies. The children all made their very own caterpillar and sequenced the story "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". A huge thank you to all of you who have helped your children complete their minibeast ideas sheet, we have loved looking through these and Mrs O'Connor has created a lovely display with some of the photos, pictures and work that has come in from the children. We will be adding to this display as the weeks progress, so do take a look on our next drop in.

On to our learning for the coming week, we will be:


  • Sharing another book by Eric Carle, this time it is all about a bad-tempered ladybird.
  • Retelling the story "The Bad-Tempered Ladybird and thinking about how the ladybird behaved and whether this was the right thing to do, sharing our ideas during Circle Time.
  • Watching a film showing the life cycle of a ladybird.
  • Labelling the different parts of a ladybird.
  • Learning about time, making different o'clock times, just like those in the story.
  • Making ladybird pebbles to put into our garden.

Drop in sessions are starting back up again and this week it will take place on THURSDAY

Have a lovely weekend
Miss Wakefield
