Week beginning 21st April

We hope that you all enjoyed the Easter break, and warmly welcome our newest Explorers: Ramsay, Sonny and Maeve.

During the first week of the summer term, we will be exploring space, identifying planets and thinking about space travel. In the theme area, our astronauts will be exploring the universe in The Barn spaceship and they might decide to land at the Moon Café in the home corner. We will also have fun counting with an astronaut rhyme and creating pictures for our space themed walls.

In the garden, the small circle groups will be busy planting flowers in the troughs. Over the coming weeks, we will enjoy watching the flowers grow and observe the insects that will be attracted by the colourful petals, scent, nectar, and pollen. Outdoors, there will be resources for making space rockets, lots of chalk to make a space themed hopscoth and planets and an area for washing moon rocks.

The Discoverers' word of the week is planet.
