We had a fabulous day on Wednesday during our Disney workshop. We all enjoyed singing along to the music wearing our amazing Disney costumes. We then got to explore the minibeasts in the afternoon. Lots of us were a little bit nervous to hold the animals. Some were very brave.

Year 2b have had a fantastic day showing our support for England. We have a class full of football fans so we are all very excited for Sunday’s Euro final. We finished off our day with a class game of football in the MUGA – what a treat!

Good luck England, Year 2b are backing you all of the way!

Zoolab came to nursery on Wednesday and they brought some creepy crawlies with them. We were very brave and had a hold or feel of the animals.

We had a very busy day in Year 1 yesterday. The day started with a fantastic Disney workshop which we all enjoyed and took part in. Then, we had a surprise visit from the Zoo Lab. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about all of the mini-beasts and some of us were even brave enough to have a hold.

Here are some pictures from the extremely FUN day.

Rob from Zoolab came to show us his pets…but they were no ordinary pets. Rob brought in a snake, a giant African snail, a cockroach, a tarantula and a millipede. He taught us all about their special features and how we should look after them. Rob then let us handle them. Lots of us tried holding, stroking or just observing the different animals.

As part of our topic ‘How does it grow?’ we had a visit from Zoolab. The children absolutely loved meeting the (not so mini) minibeasts and were very brave holding them and enjoyed finding out lots of facts about them. Did you know that a cockroach has two brains? One in its head and another in its bottom!
Here are some questions you could ask your child-

What is snail slime used for?
What part of our body is like a snails shell?
What does a tarantula do when it is scared?
What happens to a cockroach if you put it in the freezer?

Zoolab visited nursery. They brought lots of creepy crawlies to show us. Some of us were brave enough to hold them, some of us weren’t.

Today we had a wonderful visit from our friends at Gateshead Music Service. They treated us to a fun-filled hour of Disney songs. Lots of us got dressed up for the occasion. We clapped along and got to use some different instruments to provide a musical accompaniment. We were brilliant at recognising the different tunes.
