WOW! What a fantastic and busy half term we had in Wren Class!

We have been learning about minibeasts and the life cycle of a frog and a butterfly. We have been growing our own tadpoles and caterpillars! Hopefully the caterpillars will turn into butterflies soon…. And the tadpoles will turn into frogs!!!
The children have been very interested and have observed the caterpillars and tadpoles growing . Tilly wrote :

We have also learnt about symmetry and produced some fantastic symmetrical butterflies.

This half term we have also started our ‘Stretch and Relax’ sessions. We love it! It is helping us to self-regulate our emotions and learn about our body. In our PE lessons we are learning to dance. We are preparing a special dance with Mrs Cooper.
