This half term, we are enjoying learning all about gardens; what we can grow in them and what we might find in them.

We have been observing some caterpillars in the classroom. Like the Very Hungry Caterpillar, they ate and ate and they grew and grew until they were ready to transform into chrysalises. Now, we have to wait patiently until they emerge as butterflies. I wonder what kind of butterfly they will be?

We have produced caterpillar art work in many different forms.

 

 

 

 

 

Planting vegetables and flowers is great fun in the garden. We have planted beans and peas as well as topping up the potatoes which were planted last term and are growing rapidly.

 

 

 

 

 

They all need watering of course and there is no shortage of volunteers for that job!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are learning all about snails too. Welcome to the newest member of nursery, Turbo, our Giant African Land Snail.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have been comparing Turbo to the snails we find in the garden.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Would you be brave enough to hold Turbo?
