This week we have had an amazing time building our bug hotel. This year our class project is to build and maintain a bug hotel. After talking about all the different mini beasts that might like to come and stay. The children collected leaves and sticks and used other objects that have been collected previously and decided how the hotel was going to look. This showed great team work and turn taking.
We have finished our recycle display. The children have been developing their brush skills when painting their fish. They have loved decorating them to make them sparkle.

Our first week in forest school. The children were very excited to explore. They made mud pies, climbed trees, fed the chickens, found spider webs and slug eggs,we made a den and much more.
Normally when you bring your child into class you see what our provision is like, as this is not happening I thought I would put some pictures up of each area. This might help when asking your child what they have be doing during their time at school.
Wow what a fantastic start to our new school year. The f1 Butterflies were amazing this week, they explored and made new friends.
