Angwin

Dear Families and Friends,

The Angwin classroom has been spending lots of time in deep co-operative play, with building being a major focus. There has been lots of negotiating, sharing and discussing of plans as the play has continued.
The doctor’s surgery has been so busy with many different diagnosis to keep the doctors and nurses frantic!

Audrey: I’m a real nurse!
Lilah: Can you please sign the form?
Alina: It’s going Boom! Boom! Boom! I think there’s worms in there! There are 100 million worms in that patient!
Alice: The baby’s coming now…
Lilah: You’ve had a vomit and ooooh, there’s a bird in our tummy and oooohhhh it’s still alive!

Speaking of birds, on one of our walks up to the Preparatory School we have been so lucky to find a baby rainbow bird poking its’ head out from its’ nest! The children were so excited! We have discussing signs of Spring and the children have been bringing in blossoms, daffodils and other signs that tell us that the warmer weather is on its’ way!

Paxton: This flower is from my garden. It grows under the trees
Thomas: After Winter it is spring and it gets sunny
Sammy: Spring is a very confusing season because it goes hot to cold to hot to cold
Jed: It’s a pink blossom… my Mummy found it for me! As the blossoms grow from a bud they get bigger
Edward: Summer comes after spring
Sammy: Bees come and lick the nectar from the blossom
James: The rain turns into Spring and makes the flowers bigger

Lots of amazing theories and ideas to share!
Have a lovely weekend!
Kind Regards,


Pip, Ellen and Kendall
