We have had a gorgeous afternoon crew session in the garden following our sports day practise. The children were feeling a little hot and bothered so we had fruit, biscuits and juice outside. We sang nursery rhymes and practised our sign language for banana, orange, apple, water, biscuit and please and thank you. The children are excellent at it! Why not try at home following the signs below…

Israel and Bobby have in Nursery have enjoyed creating honeycomb prints on World Bee Day!

Here are some ways you can help save the bees at home…

Food for bees

Bees need a wide range of plants that flower from spring to autumn to feed from. These include:

• alyssum, cornflower, sunflower, michaelmas daisy and sweet william for nectar in summer
• bluebells, rosemary, geranium and honeysuckle
• ivy and shrub willows for food in early and late parts of the year

Creating shelters for bumblebees

Bumblebees need to find places to nest and hibernate in. You can help by:

• creating patches of bare earth in warm sheltered spaces for nesting sites
• leaving a pile of stones, dead plant stems, fallen leaves and log piles for bumble bees to hibernate in over winter

This week the children have been reading the story of The Gingerbread Man in literacy and expedition learning. We enjoyed XP outdoors by reading the story whist some of our children were actors for the Gingerbread Man, the old man and woman, the cow, the horse and Mr Kershaw was the big bad fox! The other children enjoyed joining in with the repeated phrases throughout “run run as fast as you can, you can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man!”
