After reading 'Superworm', Opal class were very excited to go outside and try worm charming. We found it quite hard on a warm, sunny day but we did manage to charm 2 worms. We enjoyed observing them & reading books to find information about them. #Outdoorlearning #365dayswild 🪱

We loved working together to build a bug house this week in Reception. We stuck the pieces of cardboard together before decorating the house with different minibeast pictures. Then we went around the garden to collect different things to go inside the house for the bugs. #EYFS

We have been very busy problem solving this week in Opal Class. Yesterday we had to rescue the sea creatures from the ice! We worked together to think of the different ways we could rescue them. One little girl said “we need to melt all this ice”. 🧊🦈 🐙

On Monday we found some blackberries in the garden. We were so excited to pick them and to show them to our friends. We then decided what to make with the berries and we decided to make jam! 🥣📚⭐️ #eyfs #exploring

Next we had to make the jam and our jam sandwiches for snack time. We all worked together to make the sandwiches and they were delicious! One little girl said “this is the best jam ever!”. ⭐️💜
