Today we had a lovely visit from Rory's Guinea pigs, Stars and Frank. Rory expertly told us all about how to look after them, what they like and dislike and handled them beautifully. Very one was excited to have a stroke with Frank. 

We had a visit from Ethan's tortoises and learned lots about how to look after them, where they live and what they like to eat. They children loved handling the tortoises and watching their behaviour. 

We really enjoyed celebrating the re-opening of our library by listening to local author Dan Worsley telling us a story.

This week we have been reading the story 'If Only...'. The children have been captivated by this lovely tale about a caterpillar. We are lucky enough to have a beautiful story sack, a resource which encouraged the children to re-tell the story in their own words, sequence events and pretend to be…

Another satisfied customer! Our vegetable soup that we made is yummy!

There's plenty for our snack each day this week!

The children have very sensibly used different tools to help prepare the vegetables for our soup.

We have been tasting different vegetables like Oliver in the 'Oliver's Vegetables' story. We talked about how it is the different parts of the plant that we eat. We tried spinach and the children recognised that it is the leaves and stalks that we eat.
