The Den:

We have had a lovely week this week on the run up to Easter. We have had children from The Nest join us this week and it has been amazing to spend time with these children. 

We have been exploring blossom this week as our gorgeous blossom tree in the garden has spouted. We froze some in ice and the children had lots of fun exploring it with their hands. The children went back to it throughout the morning and we watched as it melted, revealing the flowers. 

We have been looking at farm animals this week!  We the children have been identifying animals and linking them to their sounds. We have also been encouraging signing key farm animals, we have been amazed how fast the children have picked this up! 

The addition of animal puppets helped to further engage the children! We have also been looking at Spring animals like chicks and rabbits, this prompted us to introduce the ‘chick’ sign which the children were able to copy.
