We had a 'roarsome' week last week in Nursery, learning about creatures which hatch from eggs and dinosaurs, and enjoying our book of the week, "The Odd Egg" by Emily Gravett. On Monday a mysterious white and green-spotted egg appeared in Nursery, which led to a range of questions and ideas about what may have happened over the weekend! The children made a fantastic map about things which hatch and have learned many facts about dinosaurs. They made some delicious dinosaur biscuits and even made a range of marks an impressions in clay and salt dough to create 'fossils.' We learned about the work of paleontologists and made fabulous dinosaur skeletons using pasta. We have enjoyed a range of dinosaur related crafts including creating 3D stegosauruses and took our dinosaurs outside into the stone pit. All the children were highly intrigued by some huge cardboard dinosaur footprints found outside on the hill - who had been into Nursery?

A huge thank you to members of the project run by the Chiltern Society called Community WildBelt who came to Grove Road to support the children to learn about the importance of our wildlife with a focus on the pond and surrounding area.
This is a project that was funded by The National Lottery Fund Heritage Trust, so thank you to its members and especially Helen McSwiggan for putting us forward for this. The flowers will soon be blooming 🌷

The children in Reception have been busy preparing seed potatoes for planting. The sprouts were finally long enough and the weather was just right to plant them outside. The children prepared the buckets with soil and dug little 'trenches' to plant the seed potatoes. They then covered them with soil and watered them before placing their labels. We can't wait to see the plants grow.
