Dear God,

Thank You that You are loving and forgiving.

During this Lent, help us to love people in the same way as You have loved us.

Help us do generous things for others because we love You.

Amen.

We have had lots of fun and Easter activities this week!

The Easter Bunny has visited us! We had great fun searching for eggs!

We have been thinking about Jesus this week and made Prayer Gardens in small groups.

What do minibeasts like to eat? We thought about this question and recorded our ideas. We left them in our garden and checked each day to see which food had been eaten.

Using our new knowledge of different minibeasts we have created minibeast families by painting different sized pebbles.

We have created a wormery and looked at the things worms need to survive. We will care for the worms for the next few days. We are enjoying this new responsibility

Water Class have had an amazing first two weeks together and the children have grown in confidence and made new friends! They coped extremely well in their new environment and played happily together.

Over these two weeks, we have really enjoyed a new book called 'Here We Are' by Oliver Jeffers which is part of a whole school project. There have been lots of fun, creative and engaging activities that have given us plenty to talk about together we have shared some fantastic thoughts and ideas. See below for photographs of us playing and exploring our new environment.
