What a busy half term we have had!

From still life daffodils to fork painting flower pots, long legged chickens and decorating eggs, to pop up rabbits and Easter crispy cakes! We’ve looked at shapes inside and outside and even had a special visitor!

Have a lovely Easter break. We look forward to seeing you all back in the sunshine on Monday 13th April 😊

What a busy half term we’ve had!

From learning about different winter clothes which keep us warm, to creating beautiful snowflakes. Learning about shapes and braving the cold weather playing outside to develop our gross motor skills.
We’ve learnt about the Chinese New Year with a Chinese restaurant and takeaway, learnt about the traditions, decorations and celebrations, including dancing when a real life Chinese dragon who came to visit!
Finally we’ve celebrated St Valentine and all things ‘love-ly!’

Term finishes on Friday and we look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday 23rd February 😊
