This week Reception have been learning all about life cycles as part of our continued topic this term ‘Explorers Outdoors’. It has been an extremely exciting week as we received a delivery of tiny caterpillars which we are looking forward to watching grow over the next few weeks. The children learnt their life cycle moving from a caterpillar, into a chrysalis and finally into a butterfly. We cannot wait to see what kind of butterfly they turn out to be and releasing them on the field. We have also looked at the life cycle of a frog and hunted for them in our school pond (unfortunately we might have been a bit too noisy and scared them all away!) Frog life cycles have been our focus for our Literacy writing where we had a go at writing frogspawn, tadpole, froglet and frog using our Fed talk and understanding of Phonic sounds.
