11.05.26 - This week in Early Years

Hello everyone!

We have had a lovely sunny week and crammed lots into our 4 days. We enjoyed our Forest School session, finding lots of minibeasts on our field and in the Forest School area. We have also watched the Disney short, "The Grasshopper and the Ants", which we based our writing on. We decided that the ants were very kind when they helped the grasshopper.

Now on to the learning for this coming week, we will be:

  • Sharing the book "Mad About Minibeasts!" which is full of rhymes about different minibeasts.
  • Learning some facts about some of those minibeasts like snails, slugs and ants.
  • Writing some facts about minibeasts, seeing if we can answer any of the questions we asked at the start of our project.
  • Starting our next block in Mathematics sessions, thinking about shape.
  • Creating snails by printing a spiral shell and then using paper to make the body.

Due to SATs week taking place, there will be no drop in session this week. There will also not be one the following week due to the Isle of Wight trip. Drop in sessions will start back after half term. 


Have a lovely weekend!
Miss Wakefield, Mrs Fincham and Miss Goddard
