Signs of Spring

During half term we noticed lots of changes in Nursery.

All the bulbs we planted have begun to shoot up.
Some of our plants have buds on them and one or two even have flowers.
The trees have little leaf buds on them.

We have cleared the vegetable patch so that we can begin to plant some peas, beans and carrots.

RMcCabe - The Enormous Turnip

We have been loving the story, the Enormous Turnip, so on Monday everyone planted some tiny seeds with Mrs B. They put cotton wool in each tray and a pinch of seeds, then sprinkled with water. What do you think they will turn into?

Through the week the children have been learning about plants and how to look after them. They have also been writing some brilliant instructions to help other people look after their seeds.

Wow look how our seeds have grown! They are cress seeds.

RMcCabe - Chinese New Year

Last week Reception were celebrating Chinese New Year. We tried Chinese stir fry (made by Mrs T!), prawn crackers and rice and everyone tried a little bit of everything.

We also worked with place value with Numicon and coins, made Chinese dragons and lanterns and practised using chopsticks. Here are some pictures of the children enjoying the inside and outside activities:
