This term in Nursery we will be learning about plants and growing as part of our topic ‘Roots, Shoots and Muddy Boots’.  Throughout the half term we will be planting flowers in our garden, as well as planting different seeds and beans and watching how they change as they grow.  It will also be important for us to observe what happens when things start to decay, so we will look at what happens when plants start to die.  We will learn about how important it is to care for living things to help them to grow, and think about what we can do to help them.

Our new children will get to explore the Forest for the first time, and our older children will be able to observe the changes that have happened since we last visited.  I am looking forward to being able to look for minibeasts and see some more of the wildflower seeds that we have planted grow into flowers!  We will continue to develop our balancing and climbing skills in the Forest as well as completing some yoga back in the classroom.

We will be making the most out of the good weather starting (hopefully), so please make sure that your child has suitable clothing each day.  As the weather can still be quite uncertain at this time of year, it might be best to prepare for all eventualities with a rain coat and wellies as well as sun hat and sun cream!

We will continue to post updates about what we have been learning on Tapestry.
