Stop the press.....We have had a visit from T rex
Our topic this term is Dinosaurs, we have lots of children very interested in dinosaurs, particularly after we caught the footage of a giant T Rex walking around our playground and our classroom. This week he left us a nest of dinosaur eggs for us to look after and hatch.
UPDATE - all our dinosaur eggs hatched!! It was very exciting, we have lots of different types of dinosaurs, which inspired us to use the internet to find out all about our dinosaurs. We found out about plant eaters and meat eaters, dinosaurs that could fly and those that had 2 or 4 legs.

As part of our topic on animals, we welcomed a mobile farm to school on Monday. The weather wasn't on our side so we decided to invite some of the animals inside, It was amazing learning all about the different farm animals, we were able to bottle feed the lambs and give the goats their breakfast.

Today it was our chicks last day at school. We received a special certificate for looking after them.
In the Early Years Classes we have been watching a batch of eggs hatch into little chicks, this week in Nursery we brought them into our classroom so we could feed them and clean out their home. We loved holding the chicks and letting them walk onto our hands. Their little feet felt tickly on our hands!
The yellow chicks are the boys and they kept pecking against the window when Mrs Warren wanted to move them to clean their home, the children all thought this was very funny! We have really enjoyed watching the chicks change from eggs into little chicks.
