Excitement is building. Our caterpillars are 'Big Fat Caterpillars' now, which is a well repeated phrase in Nursery. We are wondering what the cocoons will look like, and even more exciting, what the butterflies will look like!
Fortunately, a butterfly expert came to talk to us in school. She was able to tell us about the different species of butterfly common to the UK. This gave us a starting point for our predictions about what our butterflies might look like.
We are a little fixated on collecting mini-beasts. In maths this week, we've looked at ways of sorting data. We started with a mini-beast picture hunt then put all the finds together. It was a big jumble. Some children naturally began to sort them into groups. The teachers showed everyone how we can organise the groups on to a pictograph to make it easier to compare quantities.
Forest school was beautiful sunny day for us. We did a very long walk, the children were overheard planning naps on the bus on the way back to school.
And lastly but most importantly the highlights of our wonderful independent play....
