This week we have continued our learning all about minibeasts as we have been adding mini beasts to our bug hotel, it is very full now!

In science and writing we have been learning all about frog lifecycles, making our own, writing about them and even watching our frog spawn change over the past two weeks. We have also been to check on our bean plants to see how they have been growing in the different areas we left them. The ones in class have grown the most so far.

In maths we have been looking at one more and one less than a number - we have been doing this practically outdoors, jumping along numberlines to solve the questions.

In French, we listened to La legende des Cloches de Paques - the story of the Easter Bells. In France, they say that the bells fall silent at Easter because they have gone to Rome to be blessed. They return on Easter Sunday, dropping chocolate eggs in gardens for children to find. We also learnt a traditional French nursery rhyme about a rabbit - Mon petit lapin a bien du chagrin. 

In music we have continued with the story Handa's surprise and made our own African music.

In come and see we learnt all about the Easter story, the children asked some brilliant questions and could retell parts of the story. We used the Easter story as our art this week, making pictures of what happened.

And on Friday afternoon, we had our last Tots on Tyres session with Mrs Cookson.

Next week our learning will be all about Easter and Spring. We will also welcome Mrs Stone back from her maternity leave!
