Making Sandwiches in Nursery
This week the children have been listening to and following instructions to make sandwiches. They chose their fillings and talked about where our foods come from. Their spreading and cutting skills are certainly improving!
Caterpillars
We have had a special arrival of caterpillars in Reception! The children have loved watching them grow over the last week. We have talked about the life cycle of a butterfly and found out that butterflies lay eggs, a caterpillar comes from the egg. The caterpillars then form a chrysalis before…
