Growing

Our topic this half term is growing. We will be watching cress and beans grow in the classroom and finding out about the life cycle of plants.

We are learning about mini beasts this half-term. We are looking after caterpillars and watching them transform.

People Who Help Us

The police came to visit out Preschool. We tried on their uniform, sat in a police van and learnt about how to stay safe.

People Who Help Us

We have been learning about people who help us. Nurse Georgia came to visit us. She spoke about how she looks after children who are ill in hospital. We then used a real stethoscope to listen to our heart beating. Nurse Georgia also put bandages on us. We had a great day finding out about how nurses help us.

The 3 Little Pigs

We have been reading the story of The 3 Little Pigs and learning about different materials. We decided what materials we would like to use to make our own houses then we made a plan, made our houses and evaluated them afterwards.

We made porridge and chose what flavour we would like to eat, from plain, syrup, jam and sugar. Sugar was our most popular flavour and plain the least.

We have been enjoying our PE lessons in the hall. We learned how to move in different ways using a hoop.

We enjoyed making biscuits by measuring out the ingredients and mixing them together before rolling out the dough and cutting them out.
