Classes
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!
Bitterns Weather Station
The Bitterns have set up a weather station and are using a range of meteorological instruments to observe and record weather patterns in answer to our geography question:Â What is the weather like in the UK?
Geography – Weather
In Geography last week, we were thinking about the different weather we get in the UK and how we can measure the weather. We have a new rain gauge and thermometer in our garden so we can check the temperature and amount of rain each day. The children enjoyed making wind streamers to see the wind intensity and direction.
