This week we have had a weekly topic all based around minibeasts. We have:

• the children have also learnt about Easter, made Easter cards and made Easter cakes
• the children have ordered pictures of worms from shortest to longest
• we have enjoyed phonics activities and songs
• there has been a lot of mark making
• had lots of stories, songs and outside time and a lot of fun in the craft area painting, drawing and sticking

As usual the weekly blog represents a snapshot of what most of the children participate in during the week. Please speak to your child's key person if you would like to have further information about your child's interests and progress. You are welcome to ask your key person for feedback at any time and book a time to have a meeting for feedback on how your child is progressing.
Hoping you all have a lovely weekend. Best wishes, Julia, Grace, Sharon, Lisa, Hannah and Amy
