Nursery News
We have really enjoyed welcoming everyone back to nursery this week, some new faces too! It has been lovely to see everyone, and the weather has been kind – allowing us to spend plenty of time taking our learning outside. Our learning journey was triggered by the arrival of our tiny caterpillars. They came in a pot, with their own food, and over the week we have watched them almost double in size!! Once we had talked about the changes they would go through we thought it might be nice to create flowers for the butterflies when they emerge – and began digging and preparing the ground, before sowing seeds, watering the soil and impatiently waiting for the flowers to grow!
We also thought about the other living things in our garden, as part of our Earth Day conversations, and have begun creating a Bug Bedroom – a beautifully arranged pile of sticks and straw in a quiet part of the area. This is one of our favourite times of the year, and such an exciting one for our little ones as the world springs into action around them. We have found strawberries, lavender, rosemary, thyme, bay and even daffodils in just one of our flower beds, and have spotted the blossom appearing on our apple trees – I wonder what you will spot if you’re out and about this weekend?
Please send me a picture if you see any signs of spring, we would love to share in your adventures at home. Have a great weekend from everyone at Little Crackers.
