Spring Nature Walk

This week we have been thinking about signs of spring. We had lots of fun on our spring treasure hunt, playing nature detectives. We found daffodils, bluebells, blossom, catkins, leaf buds, daisies, mole mounds and heard the song of the birds. What signs of spring can you find on your walks?


 

 
 
 

 

 
 

 
 
 

We have used the natural spring objects we found to make collages.

We have been examining frog spawn and talking about the changes we can see.


In our maths, we made an addition machine, rolling balls of two different colours and counting all of them to see how many there would be. We have also used pegs to pick up pipe cleaner "worms" to feed to the birds, counting how many we had used.  
 
 
 

Our role play is now a baby clinic, as we are thinking of new life. We have used weighing scales and tape measures to make sure our babies are healthy as well as writing prescriptions. We have fed our babies and looked after them, making sure they are fit and well.

Next week we will be thinking about Easter and how and why it is celebrated.
