This week the children have been reflecting upon the visit to the farm last week. We have been building barns out of blocks and sorting and categorising animals. Some of the children have been loving the wet eweather play and even made their own mud slide in the garden. We have also been preparing for 'Mothers Day', children have been making their own cards and writing in them, practising their mark making skills. The children helped to make lemon scented playdough using fresh lemons, later in the week the children made chicks. We are starting to look for signs of Spring in the garden.

This week it has been very exciting as we have been preparing our whole school trip to Green Meadow Community Farm. The children have been becoming familiar with the names for baby animals and farm animals. We have been learning about where milk and cheese comes from and how it is made and have been watching clips on the ipad. On Thursday we had a fantastic day at the farm, meeting the animals, seeing the signs of spring, baby lambs, piglets, goats, tractor rides and even having the chance to milk the goat.
