<![if !supportLists]>·         <![endif]>felt real wool that had come off a sheep
<![if !supportLists]>·         <![endif]>slid outside like sheep do when they have had their wool cut

Spring is a great time for Planting!

In Spring we went for walks around our school.  We found blossoms on the trees and we also noticed that the days were getting warmer.  We challenged ourselves to name the different parts of a flower. To help us with our learning, we planted bean, tomato, lettuce and flower seeds.  We have to remember to water our seeds every day and make sure they get sun as well.  Our seeds took a long time to grow into seedlings.  We have yummy looking lettuce but no tomatoes, flowers or beans yet.  We also worked with our lovely mother helpers to make a Spring mural.  We shared our ideas about what happens in Spring.   We visited the sunflower garden and looked at the different parts of the flower and their names.  We hope you like our Spring display in our corridor!

FW: Harold Visits Sunnyhills School

We are learning to:
  • Understand that we are special
  • Understand that other people have the same needs as we do
  • Keep ourselves safe when playing
  • Explore the links between human and animal needs
Harold came to visit Sunnyhills this term.  Room12  went to the caravan two times.  We looked after the animal puppets and talked about how they need the same things as we do. We liked it when Harold came out of his room to talk about how unique and special we are.   Later we created self-portraits and talked about how we are all different and that is what makes us special!
