Little Owls – Sensory garden and colour matching
Welcome to our new Sensory Sunflowers Numbers. The children have been counting the petals and saying the number. They have also explored the different textured stalks.
Using the tweezers to support their physical skills, the children have been picking up and putting the different objects onto the correct coloured fruit or vegetable.
Little Owls – Growing
We had a very exciting thing happen last weekend, our beans grew very fast! We have been measuring them this week to see how much they have grown throughout the week, an amazing 11-13cm in two days! We transplanted some to our outside area and the children have been predicting which beans will grow the biggest, inside or outside.
Class 1 – Chicks!
Class one had a busy afternoon back at school after the bank holiday with visit from Naomi’s chicks! All of the children had the opportunity to hold a chick if they wanted to, we noticed how soft their baby feathers are and that, although they are only two weeks old, they are already getting their adult feathers on their wings.
We learnt that the chicks are different colours because they are different breeds, the yellow ones are Light Sussex and the grey one is a Jersey Giant. The children also learnt that we say that chicks hatch rather than are born. The children were really good at sitting quietly so that they didn’t frighten the chicks. We look forward to welcoming them back again as they grow so we can see how they change as they grow. Many thanks to Naomi’s parents for bringing their chicks in.
Pre-school visit: we also welcomed our second group of pre-school children into class this afternoon, but we were all so busy I forgot to take photos, sorry, next time! This second visit means that all children attending our pre-school have now had their first visit to their new class for September. These visits will continue until the end of the summer term giving the children plenty of time to get to know staff, children and the school.
