What we’ve been up to this month…
This month we have been exploring the theme of “growing things” where we have been planting new seeds in our polly-tunnel and “Peter Rabbit” herb garden ahead of spring!
We have been looking into the importance of caring for our environment and deep diving into life cycles of animals and what is involved in each step!
We have celebrated world book day- we all dressed up to further explore our favourite stories and bring them into play!
It was so lovely to see so many little ones dressed up- we had a great day!
We have been getting ready for easter decorating easter eggs, creating different crafts and we even had a visit from the easter bunny!
