Designing a new hat for Mr Maize

# data[].attributes.body
This week we have been reading ‘Mr Maize’s new clothes’ about a scarecrow who is getting ready for Spring. We have been looking at seasonal changes in our immediate environments and in science we have explored the lifecycle of a Sunflower. During our outdoor learning sessions we planted sunflower seeds and made our own scarecrow.

We have had a wonderful start to 2026! We have celebrated the new year through our sensory poem using firework videos, confetti canons, party poppers and sparklers! We made some 2026 paintings and collages, and explored silver metallic paint during sensory art!

In maths we have begun measuring height, focusing on comparing ‘tall’ and ‘short’ objects.

We ended the week with lots of outdoor fun in Forest School!

Happy New Year everyone!
