After collecting the eggs from the hens last week we read a lovely book called 'Omar, The Bees and Me' and found a recipe in the back for honey buns! We had a little adventure up to the cooking room where we mixed all of our ingredients together and even tasted the honey, which we all loved!

How we teach reading
We love our story time at the end of the day. We vote for our favourite book and then our buddies come to read it to us!
Today we have started 'Forest school'. We spent the morning up in the garden getting to know our school environment. We planted seeds to grow our own vegetables, we picked apples from the tree, we learnt about the chickens and had a look in the bug hotel and around the pond. We have loved our morning out in the fresh air and can't wait to do it again!
The classroom is all set up and ready for the new starters in September 2020!
