Pre School
Pre-school have been busy enjoying the summer term. We have looked at the work of Andy
Goldsworthy and went up to the field to collect natural objects for us to create our own natural
collage. The children have worked with class 3 this week looking at Sunflowers. We discussed how to
plant a sunflower, what flowers need to grow and planted our own. The children will now watch them
grow over the half term. Our butterfly farm is now getting very exciting as the caterpillars have now
made their cocoon. We are now waiting for butterflies.
