Den Day!

On Monday it was Den Day! 

Year 5 and Year 2 joined together to create a fantastic Den in the Key Stage 1 yard!
We first had a discussion about working as a team and communicating our ideas with each other before collecting the materials we needed to create our fabulous Den! Miss Henry and Miss Howe couldn't believe how great and original our ideas were! We had great fun doing this and hope we get to make an even better Den in the future!

Flutter by, butterflies!

Yesterday afternoon we released our beautiful 'Painted Lady' butterflies! We took them into the Early Years yard by the flowers and watched them fly free! Many of them liked their pop-up habitat so much they needed some encouragement to go! In particular, Curly needed a lot of support and encouragement as he struggles to fly and walk. The children all called encouragements to him and we managed to get him safely to a flower!

Over the next 2 weeks, they will mate and lay eggs on the underside of a leaf and then the life cycle will start all over again! We hope they come back to our Early Years garden - the children all said they'd be very welcome!
