Monday 20th April A worm story and hunt!

Hello Good Morning Everyone.

I hope you have had a lovely weekend, even in the rain. The plants and wildlife will have been delighted to have seen the rain on Friday and Saturday. Maybe you went on a welly walk and enjoyed jumping in the puddles. Today I am going to introduce you to a focus we would have started if we were in school together.

Two questions we would have been looking at are ….What lives in the garden?

Why do animals choose to make homes underground?

Today I have added links about the first creature you might wish to explore…...Worms

Click on the arrow and the story will play … It made me and Mrs Breakwell laugh.

What can you find living in your garden? What can you find living during your daily walk?

I know you are good at finding and searching for mini beasts, you often brought snails and woodlice into the classroom to show us all. Looking at the Foundation Stage garden last week we spotted a GIANT spider in the blue barrel .. It was very LARGE! .What can you spot outside today?

Below is a link to the National History Museum

This links to a 2 minute video about worms, they explain how you could try and get worms to come to the surface in your garden. I know some of you will love this experiment… see how many worms come up!….

Another challenge I will continue all week is asking if you would like to draw a picture for your windows and then send them in. I will also use these images to say THANK YOU and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Captain Tom We have spoken about large numbers and always celebrate our Birthdays together. Did you hear about Captain Tom who will be 100 on 30th April, such a Special Birthday. He has been amazing and walked 100 times around his garden before his 100th Birthday. I think he would love to be sent some of your lovely pictures as a card. i will print them out and send them to him at the end of the week.

Enjoy the story and information about Worms! and I look forward to seeing all of your pictures. You can always send a new/ different picture to me for Captain Tom, if wish. Let me know what you find in your gardens or on your walk this week. From Miss Butler, Miss Lofthouse and Mrs Breakwell.
