The Bitterns made pinch pots and learned to score and slip to attach extra bits.
Classes
RE – The Parable of The Lost Son
The Bitterns have been learning about how Christians view God, and unpacking the hidden meanings of the parable, The Lost Son. They designed and made cube boxes with the storyline on the outside, and placed the hidden messages inside.
Victory in Europe DAY
When learning about VE Day, the Bitterns were sincerely grateful to our war heroes. As part of our celebrations, they decided to write some rather moving letters to war veterans.
Bitterns Online Toy Shop
The Bitterns have been recognising and choosing coins to make up varying amounts to buy toys in the online toy shop!
Thrigby Wildlife Gardens
Coots enjoyed a fabulous trip to Thrigby Wildlife Gardens as part of our Science topic ‘Comparing Animals’. We saw so many different animals and enjoyed talking about the different animal groups that they belong to, their different features and what they eat.
Easter Phonics Hunt!
Finding sounds and words in Easter eggs hidden in our garden.
Cookery – Adapting a class recipe
In Design Technology Grebes were set the challenge of adapting and developing a classic recipe. And what could be more classic than spaghetti bolognese! Taking this BBC Good Food recipe as a starting point (https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/best-spaghetti-bolognese-recipe), children made changes – sometimes based on taste (e.g. removing meat for vegetarians and replacing with additional vegetables such as red peppers) and sometimes for other reasons such as nutritional value and reducing cost. Children learned to safely chop resistant vegetables such as onions. Several have since been cooking at home. Fantastic work!
Forest School – 28.3
Forest school on Friday saw us whittling willow sticks to make magic wands. We also had create fun making nests of all different sizes, including some very large ones! We ended the session by enjoying chocolate nests for our snack!
This week at Fledglings…
This week at Fledglings we are focusing on Easter. What it is, how we celebrate and what it means to us! The children will be taking part in Easter craft activities, such as making chicks which will help us develop our scissor skills, making Easter nest cakes and reading the Easter Story together as a group. We will also of course be participating in some Easter egg hunts!
Puppet Theatre
The BItterns had an inspiring DT visit from The Norwich Puppet Theatre today and participated in a super workshop where they created the most incredibly created puppets. The afternoon was spent with the puppets interacting with each other in the form of puppet shows in the Nest. What a fantastic day!
