We began the week with a walk around the school grounds to find some signs of Spring, the children looked very carefully and enjoyed listening to the bird sounds too. This week the children have begun to make their beautiful Easter cards, and have had creative opportunities with a wide range of construction and media. We've played with the farm animals and talked about their babies and what they are called. We have also been saving the minibeast toys that fell into the water tray, using sieves and other cutlery. We have begun to share stories about Easter and the children are beginning to link the idea of new life with the story of Jesus coming back to life. The children are becoming excited about the prospect of Easter, particularly the giving and receiving of gifts and chocolate eggs!
