In forest school this week we have made bird feeders. this took along time for some children showing lots of perseverance and fine motor skills with the task.

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.
A few photos of new provision. We have a Story focus area, a space den following on from our last weeks story Whatever Next.. Also a following on from looking and talking about families we have set up an animal family small world and different families.

Following on from our last few weeks of stories about how we can look after our planet. We have been recycling and re using objects to make seaweed and turtles for our display. The children enjoyed painting the giant bubble wrap using their brush skills to get into all the bubbles.

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.
