May Learning in Action

May has been a really exciting month for nursery.  We've been learning all about mini-beasts and growing plants!

Let's take a look..

'Ladybird Moves Home'

As a hook for leaning we read about ladybird moving home and followed her on her adventures around the garden.  This led us on to our very own mini-beast hunt around the garden; we found spiders, bees, worms, centipedes and lots of other creepy crawlies.

After our mini-beast hunt we made our own bug hotel; using bits or bark, grass, stones and twigs.

I found a worm, it's slimy!

Says David

In the classroom we have been doing bug printing, playing bug dominoes and drawing our favourite mini-beast.

We then went on to look at plants and how they grow from tiny seeds.  This was really interesting and we even had a go at growing our own sunflowers! 

To support our understanding we read 'Bodge Plants a Seed'

This helped us to think about what plants need to help them grow.

Can you remember?
