Our new mud kitchen has been a huge success and gets the children's imaginations flowing as they pretend to making exciting meals, spells etc. We only have a small kitchen but the 3 boys were very eager to play together so we had to expand and use the top of the sand pit. The mud kitch has had a bit of a spruce up this weekend and now has a selection of herbs growing in pots on top, so now it's very fragrant whilst playing xx

This year we decided to get some caterpillars and follow the life cycle of a butterfly. The children were very excited when they arrived. The caterpillars hardly moved for the first couple of days. Once they started to eat they grew and grew. We sent weekly updates to parents to share/discussed with their children. They then changed into cocoons. Half term came and some children only attend term time only and some off ill and yes the butterflies hatched. We managed to keep them all together till the last 1 hatched. A couple of days later we released them. Some flew straight off but 2 didn't want to leave, we had 1 sat on the bird table and then the fence for over an hour. It was a truly fascinating experience. We may order some more caterpillars again soon xx
