It was the perfect weather on Thursday to release our 5 Painted Lady Butterflies.  We have enjoyed watching them grow and change over the weeks and it was super to see them fly around our field. 

As usual, there has been so much busy learning in Year R this week.  In music, we made our own junk model instruments with Mrs Snell and played them during our music session.  Eli brought in his 2 rabbits and Sorrel a toad for some real life show and tells.  We have continued our bug learning by making our own bug information books. We were joined by our Year 5 buddies who helped us complete a bug hunt and record our findings.  We then rounded off the week by celebrating Rainbow day with the whole school. 

This week we have been learning about doubling numbers.  We have played dice and domino games to help us practise.  
During our PSED growing and changing focus we talked about how we have changed from being babies.  Children then enjoyed looking after babies during Independent learning time. 

The class also remain very keen to learn more about bugs.  We went around the school site, built our own bug houses and even completed a bug treasure hunt.  

The children have been very eager to learn more about bugs.  We started the week sharing things we knew and those we wanted to find out.  We have spent the week investigating and learning new vocabulary. 

​As us about the similarities and differences between butterflies and moths!
