Sprouting heads, a trip to ancient Egypt and exciting investigations!

This week the Rabbits have started their new topic about plants that grow.  The children have made their very own grass heads; they might look a bit different in a few days!  To help develop your child’s understanding of plants, why not go on a nature walk and explore the environment.

The Dragonflies have had a very exciting week; they have been on a trip to New Walk Museum! 

The children joined year 3 and were lucky enough to have a special Egyptian workshop where they handled ancient artifacts, dressed up in Egyptian clothes, used Egyptian tools and even got to see 3 real-life Mummies!  That wasn't all, after their Egyptian adventure, the Dragonflies explored the rest of the Museum and enjoyed looking at the Dinosaurs, beautiful paintings, animals around the world and Richard III’s very own book!  The children were impeccably behaved and a brilliant day was had by all.

The Otters have been putting on their lab coats and have turned into Scientists this week!  They have been mixing liquids and solids to see if they explode.  As part of their ‘Delicious desserts’ topic in cooking they have made pineapple upside down cake.

We hope you have a lovely bank holiday weekend, fingers crossed the sun is shining!
