We have been very lucky to see life starting around us this term!
A few weeks ago, we visited the ducklings that had hatched out in Reception. We then found out there were tadpoles and newts in the pond in Redcross Gardens. When Sara and some members of the class went to get some, they found an enormous snail too! We also saw a bee with pollen on its legs in our garden.
Here are some of the things the class said about the snail: “Snails go really slowly.” “The snail is so slimy and soft.” “They live in shells”.
Here are some of the things the class said about tadpoles: “What are they doing in the leaf? They might be hiding.” “Are they eating it?”
Here are some questions we had about newts: “Why does he live in the water?” “Is he going to grow big?”
Max even made up an action song about bees with these words: “The bee’s going in the flower to get some honey.”
