This week, Little Birds looked at the story  ‘What the Ladybird Heard’.

They enjoyed making representations of ladybirds by using various shaped and textured paper.

Little Birds also learnt about the lifecycle of a ladybird. They were fascinated to find a ladybird on the climbing frame in the outdoors when being explorers.

To develop our interests in maps, we looked at the map in the story book and plotted our own map of the story. They developed their cutting skills.

Maths focus this week was recognising numbers 1-5 and representing numbers 1-5.
