*STARS OF THE WEEK*

***I am so kind and thoughtful….***

 Noella - You are star of the week for showing such thoughtfulness - getting two sunhats out of the bag and giving one to Violet.  At Forest Schools when Aniyah fell over you said 'are you ok?' - what a kind girl you are.

Brody - We could put you down as star of the week every week.  You are so kind and helpful with the younger children, you are always helping the teachers, tidying-up, collecting up cups, you helped Rebecca with the display board and you give the best cuddles when you think we need one! 

Dear Parents,

Stevie, kindly went plant shopping in the half-term and got some lovely flowering plants to go in the hanging metal buckets and the tyres, so the children planted these out on Monday.  They also put runner beans onto wet kitchen paper and into our special pouches which are now stuck to the windows indoor the Pebbles building.  We hope we will see the roots and a shot grow then we can put them in little pots and bring one home to look after in the summer holiday.  We also planted some out in the tyres to see which ones grow the best - our scientifc experiment.

On Tuesday the caterpillars arrived.  They are very, very small at the moment but we are excited to see how they will grow and change.  For craft we created an egg on a leaf, a caterpillar, a chysilis and a butterfly to create a life cycle of a butterfly on one side of our display board and next week we will be learning about and creating the life cycle of a frog.   

On Wednesday the children planted out the seeds that Stevie was given for free at Cherry Lane.  So we will hopefully have broad beans and sunflowers too.

Our everlasting papier mache balls have changed from Easter eggs to hot air balloons, because we have a book with hot air balloons in it and quite frankly why not?  It's an excuse to get the paint out and for Mandy to stand on a table to hang them from the ceiling! 

Friday was a little disappointing as there was no sports day, but it does mean we get to practise lots more before Friday 4th July - the new date for the Pebbles picnic and sports day.

Have a lovely weekend. 

The Pebbles team.
