Chestnut Spring Term

Claire Howatson (chowatson) on: Chestnut Class

During the Spring Term Acorn Class will be learning about Animals. Our topic focus for the first half term will be ‘Pets’ and then we will be learning about ‘Animals Under the Sea’ after February half term.

We have started our learning by setting up a Vet/ Pet Shop in our role play area. Each week we have been finding out about a different type of animal and what things are needed to look after that animal. It’s been great fun, using the syringes and bandages in the Vets to make the animals better and looking at pictures of different animals, and even some x-rays.

We will be creating a display about all of the animals and the work we will be doing, so we will be painting, colouring or using collage to make create each animal. We will also be having sensory stories about each of the different of pets starting with Hoppy, the rabbit and Mog and the VET.

We have several birthdays in class this term which we look forward to celebrating. Some of the other celebrations this term will be Chinese New Year, Shrove Tuesday, St David’s day, Mother’s day and of course Easter.
