We have loved using the scales to weigh the sea creatures to find out which is the heaviest and which is the lightest. In RE, we have been learning about the creation story. We made our own book retelling the story of how God created the world in seven days. Reception were very excited when a butterfly hatched out of it's cocoon into the butterfly net. We released the butterfly and it flew away to find some yummy nectar to eat. This week we have also been sorting minibea

We had fun relaxing on the beach, investigating rock pools and enjoying delicious ice creams. Today Nursery celebrated our ‘Full Cube Jar’. We took a vote and decide
