We are exploring our sensory differences and looking at the Colour Monsters to help to begin to identify and recognise our moods and feelings.

It has been Arts week this week. Here in The Hive we have explored role playing as builders, using tools and different materials. We have listen and danced to the song “I’m going to build a house” and explored printing brick patterns after looking at different bricks and stones around the school. We have even begun to make our own junk model houses- what great fun we have had!

We loved exploring Jack and the beanstalk this term as well as the Three little pigs. It was perfect with all our planting and growing.  We have planted our own beans to see if we can grow a giant beanstalk too! We made a beanstalk in the Hive that climbs up to the castle in the clouds! Lots of retelling the story through songs and shadow puppets. The leaves climbing up the beanstalk tell the story in our words. Can you spot Jack, his mother, Daisy the cow and of course the Giant on the beanstalk?

We have enjoyed planting lots of different things this term. Some we have planted from seeds and some plants had already started to grow a little bit and we have been observing their changes and measuring them. . We have watered them and made sure they are getting lots of sunshine. We are waiting for our strawberries to ripen now and the radishes to get bigger so we can eat them!

Planting radish , spring onions and carrot seeds

planting beans – I wonder if these are magic beans?

The radishes are just starting to sprout.

Our sunflowers are getting tall!

This is the turnip we planted from seed, in the Autumn, when we read the Enormous turnip!

Super radishes!

The strawberries are just staring to grow.

We have planted a curry plant, some lavender and, some apple mint as well as some pretty flowers.

We had a super time making bunting and crowns to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III. We wore our crowns and sang the coronation song with a special lunch. We all received a bookmark to remember the day.
