We have been exploring animals from around the world, with the children showing great curiosity as they learned about different habitats and how animals live. We also marked Earth Day, helping the children to understand the importance of looking after our planet. In maths, the children have been developing their understanding of doubling, as well as learning about odd and even numbers through fun, practical activities. In literacy, we have read *The Cow That Clucked* and talked about the animals that live on a farm, linking this to our visit to Thornton Farm. The children had lots of fun discussing what noises the animals should make and comparing them to the story. They did lots of oral rehearsing and used their phonics knowledge to write about them. Our investigation area has been a real highlight, where we have some tiny caterpillars! The children are very excited to watch them grow and change as we learn about the life cycle of a butterfly. We have also spent lots of time outdoors, developing our gross motor skills. The children have particularly enjoyed creating ramps for the bikes, helping to build their confidence and develop their risk-taking skills in a safe and supported way. Den building has also been a favourite, encouraging teamwork and imaginative play.
