Our topic for this half term is ‘New Life’. We have plants growing indoors and outdoors, and an incubator full of eggs.

We have started using information books to predict what might hatch out of our eggs. Here is some of the class’s independent work, showing our ideas so far:

For DT Week, as a school we focused on buildings, and thought about designing a new London landmark. In Nursery, we experimented with a wide variety of construction materials to create towers, homes, castles, offices and bridges. We also saw a 3D printer in action, thanks to Mr Morrell and Mr Rojas!

We also used the theme of dinosaurs in literacy, and have been telling our own versions of the Julia Donaldson book, Tyrannosaurus Drip. Here are some of the illustrations from Nursery’s own picture book:
