The life cycle of a butterfly 🦋

25th March 2023Sarah Mcglone

We have been looking at the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar which has led to us looking at the life cycle of a butterfly.

We’ve talked about each stage of the life cycle and used pasta to represent the life cycle. We have even got our own caterpillars that will eventually turn into butterflies for us to release into our outdoor environment! We check in on them every day to make sure they are eating enough to get bigger, they will then become cocoons before turning into beautiful butterflies 🦋 They have already grown A LOT and we can’t wait to see how big they will get.

Fun in the water! 💦

24th March 2023Sarah Mcglone

Here in EYFS we all absolutely LOVE playing with water, whatever the weather!

This week we have been playing with the water tray outside, as well as collecting water in buckets and using paintbrushes to paint different surfaces. We have even tried finding new ways to transport water from one end of the playground to another! We also realised that when we painted things with the water it made them look really shiny! Making sure we are safe is important to us, so when we wanted to paint the taller parts of the shutters, we made a sturdy base and climbed up carefully so that we could reach. Miss McGlone was really impressed with how well we kept each other safe and how we used teamwork to collect and stack items to make our base!

Sketching – Martin Luther King

23rd March 2023Ruth Shields

During our expedition lessons this week, we have completed our first draft of Martin Luther King. When we finished we hd a gallery walk to allow us to appreciate the hard work everyone had put in to their art work. We then discussed critique and how we could make them even better next time. Although they were a first draft, I’m extremely proud of what they have produced and it was lovely hearing them express how they were proud of themselves during check out. Keep an eye out for the next draft…

Trip to Magna

Wow! What a wonderful day we’ve had at Magna. The children had an amazing time exploring the different areas including fire, earth, air and water. The children participated in 2 workshops linked to Big Circuits and Fuel to help us consolidating our learning throughout the Spring term.
