We are looking forward to our spring and growth topic in which we will find out what a plant needs to grow and planting our own sunflowers, cress and vegetables in an outdoor area.
We will have an opportunity to go pond dipping focusing on the life cycle of the frog.

SPRING TERM
As part of our community cohesion RHS welcomed a group of St George's C of E Primary School children to have a look around our school, play in our EYFS area and enjoy a drink and biscuits. We will be able to visit St George's in the near future.
We will be carrying out lots of science investigations and will be inviting you to our science workshop on Wednesday 13th February. Visit the Whole School page to see photographs of our WOW Science week.
We will be studying and enjoying role play areas linked to the Chinese New Year which starts on Sunday 10th February. The year of The Snake.
During the second half of the spring term we will be looking at growth. What things are needed for growth and how to look after plants. There will also be some very exciting dinosaur adventures!!
One of the dinosaur eggs has hatched, large footprints were discovered on the carpet and we think it escaped through a window! We have created our own dinosaur landscape using a paint programme on the computers and used the stamp tool to choose pictures of dinosaurs.
Weather
We have started our weather topic with perfect timing as the snow descended. We have been talking about words to describe the cold, made our own snow flakes and used a software programme to create our own weather forecasts.
AUTUMN TERM
The children have begun to settle in well at school. They are able to organise their coats, lunchboxes and are beginning to change their reading books independently.
We started the term with a topic on Nursery Rhymes. The children enjoyed singing and dancing to lots of rhymes. We made Humpty Dumpty's with dangly legs and scary Incy Wincy Spiders!
The children will be visiting Smart Trees in December. The children will be orienteering and collecting tokens to trade at the wishing well. They will also visit Father Christmas.
