In class on Tuesday, Monmouth was making bottle torches. First, they each had to make a circuit with a switch that would light up a bulb! Putting it all together was a little tricky, but they worked fantastically hard, followed instructions and helped each other with any issues that arose. Great job Monmouth!

Stick, Stick, Sticky, Stick… Stick, Stick Stick. (Anyone with young children will sing this in their head - thank hey duggee!)
Yesterday Eco Club chopped sticks for firewood and den building stick using loppers. Chesil and Caterpillars made stick creations using Stanley’s Stick story as inspiration and After School Club made pencils from a stick. So many uses for sticks in just one afternoon!

Last week, Chesil had lots of fun making different 3D paper shapes in DT. They made cylinders, cuboids and prisms and then tested which shape was strongest by seeing which shape held the most books before collapsing! We found out that the cylinder is the strongest. Today, they used their learning of shapes to design a new building.

Spring is around the corner! Chesil and Nursery found lots of signs of spring yesterday at forest school in our scavenger hunt! We also had forest school activities themed around our story The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Caterpillars made from nature and yoga was enjoyed but the flying butterflies were the most popular today and loved by all - Let’s hope this sunshine stays!
