Hello Everyone!
What a lovely sunny day Thursday was! I managed to do a little gardening and on my daily walk I think I successfully found a flower to match each colour of the rainbow. Have a look at my photos below to see if you agree? Did you try this challenge and did you find a flower for each colour?

I noticed a lot of dandelions on my walk and I remember blowing the seeds and saying a time for each blow. This was called a dandelion clock and it is helping the dandelion disperse it’s seeds to make a new plant. Why not have a close look at a dandelion seed head, look at how small the seeds are. I know that some of you have been planting seeds to grow at home. Have noticed that seeds come in different sizes? Collect seeds this weekend from the fruits you eat or what you find in the woods on your walks and look at their shapes and sizes. Inside each seed a new plant is waiting to grow~ this is amazing!
Our world is full of wonder and it has been good to see how many of you and your families have been exploring your gardens, local woods and fields on your daily walks. I read an article this morning and in the article they suggested a poem. I have found a you tube video of this poem for you to watch and listen to. This poem is called “Who Has seen the Wind?” by Christina Rossetti when you have listened to it talk with your family about it!!
Over the weekend you might like to create a little den for the bugs in your outdoor spaces. You need sticks and twigs and leaves that you could collect on your daily walks. Make a small den and wait for the creatures to move in. Please send me photos of your den creations.

To end this post I have chosen 2 stories for you to listen to this weekend. They are both by Eric Carle. The first one is a favourite and you will know it well. in this video Eric Carle himself reads “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” and then this is followed by a short film of the story “The very Quiet Cricket” which is beautiful and has so many creatures for you to spot. Enjoy!
May we wish you a lovely weekend carrying on doing the things that make you feel safe, fit and above all happy!
Please send us any photos of your learning
