ARCHIVED Early Years Blog

 Such a beautiful morning down and Gurnard beach, the sea was calm, it was quiet and the children were very well behaved. This week we took spades and trowels and the children tried to dig a tunnel to Southampton, we also did some beach art, making a mermaid and Mr Finch's face. We found lots of exciting things, Wren even found a large tooth and of course Harrison found a crab!  And we also decorated stones and left them on the beach for others to find and enjoy. 

 We have really enjoyed watching the lifecycle of a butterfly develop. Today it was time to release the butterflies into our meadow. It was lovely to watch them fly away and for the cycle to continue.

 This week in phonics we have been reading polysyllabic words. We have looked at splitting the word into chunks, and reading it in two parts.

 Inspired by our trip to the beach Moon class had a go at making our own clay fossils! Very messy but fun! 

 

 Today we had a fantastic trip to the Owl and Monkey Haven, we saw so many wonderful animals and we loved hearing about their cheeky antics!
