The 2 year old children have been busy learning all about different types of transport. They have made cars to travel in. Used cars to make tracks. Drawn their own pictures of transport.
The 30 hour children have been learning about what is underground. They have been digging in the garden to see what they could find. They found lots of worms, and even some flowers that had started to grow. So they looked at the roots and decided that they would like to make some flowers of their own.
The children in the main room are learning all about Space. We have our own space station in the classroom with a rocket!
We have been very busy making planets this week to put in the Space area. It took us a very long time.
We even made our own alien pictures!
