Congratulations on this wonderful achievement—we can't wait to see the magic shared with readers everywhere! 💜📖✨

It’s that time of year again in the Outdoor classroom where we’ve got the school uniforms out for everyone to try on. Everyone has been excited to see how they would look when it comes time to wear their own school uniform. This has also led to lots of stories from children who have already been to see their new schools and have met their teachers. We have also been matching different bits of uniform together so that we’re wearing all the same school as much as possible. With everyone so excited about their new schools wee will be extending this over the next couple of weeks with some pictures of the actual schools so that they can get used to the building they will actually be going to.

"If children don't grow up knowing about nature and appreciating it, they won't understand it, and if they don't understand it, they won't protect it, and if they don't protect it, who will?"- Sir David Attenborough 🌿

Happy 100th birthday, Sir David Attenborough! 🌍🎉

Expressions celebrated Sir David Attenborough turning 100 with a birthday party this week.. using some beautiful books to extend learning! The children engaged in lots of learning opportunities surrounding the natural world… we spoke about recycling ♻️ and used repurposed items to create some birthday decorations 🎉.. we explored the world of water and discussed different sea/water creatures and their habitats 🐠🐊.. we did lots of dramatic play; pretending to roar like lions 🦁, stomp like elephants 🐘, hiss like snakes 🐍 and lots more!

Happy birthday to Sir David Attenborough who is 100 years old today. 🔎🐌

Many years back David discovered a loves nature and animals. He became fascinated by all the species he read about in books and wished he could meet them in real life. David decided to become a naturalist. He studied geology and zoology obtaining a degree in natural science. David began to work as a broadcaster and brought animals into the studio. They proved to be very entertaining guests. David wanted to film the animals in their natural habit, their homes. He went on trips all over the world. One of his shows, wildlife on one became the most popular show on tv in British history. David was honoured for his incredible documentaries about life on our planet, he also recieved a knighthood and today is know as Sir David. Lots of animals have been named after him. He continues his work today and believes that people have the power to preserve our planet. He suggests that there are always things to explore if you take the time to look for them.

We celebrated Sir David’s birthday by taking time to go on our own adventure, looking for bugs and collecting treasures in our outdoor environment. We took some magnifying glasses, notebooks and binoculars with us. We created a little environment for the bugs and spent time observing and caring for them.

Earth Day-Our Power, Our Planet ♻️🚮

We decided to focus on what we can do collectively to support sustainability and care for the world around us. We held discussions about waste and recycling and many children recognised their waste disposal routines at home, some even detailed the process of composting using food waste. We broke waste down into general, recycled, food and garden then decided what goes where. Children were enthusiastic using the different bins throughout the week and learning about where waste goes once it’s leaves us.

🌎 EARTH DAY 2026 🌍

Today connections celebrated earth day via multi media, such as play dough, paint and photograph!

Outer space has been an running interest in preschool over the last few months and the children frequently make different planets out clay and play dough. Today we used green and blue play dough to make earth. We have reminded ourselves of our space facts today through songs🌎🌏🌍
