Thank you to everyone who came to Sports Day today – Froglets, you were amazing! Our biggest crowd yet with over 120 spectators, cheering everyone on & working as a team to complete each activity! We all enjoyed a well-deserved ice pole to celebrate – great job Froglets – we are all very proud of you 🙂

This week we have been focussing on the life cycle of a butterfly. To help us remember it we learned a song with actions, cut out pictures of the process from egg – caterpillar – cocoon – butterfly and also listened to the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar – although we’re not sure he should be eating lollipops or chocolate cake!

This also helped us with our cutting skills as it can be very tricky to use scissors but we are trying hard!

I have attached some links below to the song, story & a time-lapse of a butterfly emerging – it made us all say WOW!

We have been learning all about minibeasts this term and have even spotted some in our garden. We have been talking about differences between dragonflies and butterflies, counting spots on ladybirds and legs on spiders, choosing our favourite bugs and reading poems from our key text… did you know that woodlice have a pouch under their shells for their babies! Bugs are amazing 🙂
