This week Year R children have met their Year 5 buddy.  We look forward to working together this term.  

We have continued to have another busy week of learning in Year R.  Our chicks have grown very well and have regularly been held and cuddled in class.  We said a farewell to them so they could return to the farm, we look forward to seeing photos of them as they grow.  

In our RE lessons we have followed the Bible stories of Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday.  Children have sequenced the story, learnt new language and made Easter gardens, which Mrs Snell has taken to decorate the porch at St Andrews.  

We finished the term by making spring potions and hunting for chocolate eggs in the outdoor learning area.  

We have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of our chicks in Year R.  The eggs have been incubating in class for 21 days and this week they hatched before our eyes! 
We now have 8 fluffy chicks living in our classroom.  We like to hear their chirping and will take good care of them for Farmer Jo.   

Here are some short videos of the hatching.  

We ended the week with a visit to the farm.  We saw lambs, calves and piglets with their mothers.  We also created our own maths 10 frames by collecting spring themed items.  

​This week in class we have enjoyed looking at the book The Lost Words.  ​We were pleased to find some of the pictures in real life when on our trips out and about.
