The nursery children have been excitedly watching their frogspawn hatch into tadpoles. They have observed the tadpoles growing bigger and beginning to change shape. The children are now eagerly waiting for the next stage of the lifecycle, when the tadpoles will develop legs, become froglets, and eventually grow into frogs.

We had the most fun time celebrating World Nursery Rhyme Week. We made mud pies for ‘Sing a song of six pence’, we wrote get well soon cards for ‘Humpty Dumpty’, we made pirate maps in maths for ‘When I was one!’. We ended the week with a dress up day. The children practised their oracy skills in our Nursery Rhyme show!

In Beech class, we have been learning about hibernation, and which animals hibernate during the winter. We talked about why animals hibernate and how it helps them stay safe and warm. We also made a nice, cosy, warm house for the animals to live in while they hibernate, using construction and natural resources.
