​This Week
We had a SUPER trip to Foxburrow Farm where we learn all about different mini beasts, exploring the meadow area going on Minibeasts hunts. We also went pond dipping and found lots of creatures including snails and a newt.  We also learnt some facts about different trees in the forest area and enjoyed bark rubbing and mud painting!!
It was a fantastic day and the children thoroughly enjoyed and thankfully the weather was kind to us too!


Next Week 
Next week we will be continuing our Under the Sea topic looking at the story. 'Sharing a Shell.' We will be talking about what makes a good friend and writing sentences about it.  We will also be estimating in our Maths sessions and finding out how many sea creatures fit in the rock pool!

Literacy focus -  Writing a sentences to describe, what makes a good friend? 
Maths focus - Estimating groups of objects and check by counting
