July/August 2026
We have been busy exploring summer through nature this term. The children used recycled materials to make their own binoculars so they can bird watch. Through books we looked at the different birds around us, the children explaining that birds build their nests high up in the trees away from predators, which got us talking about predator birds like an owl that the children then linked to the story of the Gruffalo.
We have been using the Colour Monster book by Anna Llenas to explore different emotions that float around us to help support children regulate these feelings and learn about them in a fun and positive way, especially for the children going off to school.
With the summer flowers popping up around us, at the setting we have spotted the bees humming around us. We talked about the importance of bees in our environment and the important job they do. The children then attempted to build their own 3d hives with junk modelling.
With the term ending the children have been practicing for our sports day, they have shown great sportsmanship, cheering each other on and working well as a team. We will be sad to see our school leaver children go but wish them lots of luck for their new adventure!
