We started the week with a trip to the forest, where the children had lots of fun exploring and had a go at worm charming – they actually managed to tempt a few worms to the surface! Mrs Grimshaw showed us a bird nest which had been discovered in the undergrowth and the children were fascinated to see what the birds had woven into it to make it soft.

The children described worms in English and we collated their ideas to make a class poem:

 

 I like worms

by Reception H

 

I like catching worms

I pick them up and they tickle on my hand.

Worms like mud

Squiggling in soil

Pink worms wiggling in the ground

They can wriggle all day and night

Worms are wriggly, they look like wriggling spaghetti

Pink, slimy, wriggly spaghetti

Wiggly worms eat the mud

The worms can move with bristles, their bodies go long and short

Slinking in and out, making holes to help the plants.

 

In Maths, we have begun to explore addition and subtraction though stories and games.

Have a lovely weekend! 😊
