World Earth Day 🌍
This week we have been looking at and learning about all of the different ways we can look after the planet. We did lots of activities and crafts, which the children loved! The different ways the children came up with, were 'turning off the taps to save water', 'turning off the lights to save electricity', 'putting our rubbish in the bin and not on the floor' 'putting our rubbish in the recycling so that we can use it again', 'putting our rubbish in the bin at the beach so that it does not go in the sea and make the animals poorly. We also learnt about how elephants and bees are very important for our planet.

What a lovely afternoon making rock buns. All the children got to mix all the ingredients and creat their own delicious rock cake to take home 😛

Today we have been looking at the story Superworm. We had some gooey worms to search for in the soil. The children helped to add some wildlife/bugs to the worms to celebrate World Wildlife Day. We also looked at the book Jack and the Beanstalk and the children planted their own runner bean to take home. The children also decorated their own bookmark to take home.
What a lovely day.

Today marked our first day of celebrating World Book Week this week. We chose to focus on one of favourites within the preschool - The Gruffalo! The children were given the opportunity to explore making their own version of "Gruffalo Crumble"! We got to investigate all the different ingredients, including the Gruffalos purple prickles, black tongue and orange eyes.
