This term the children are going to be given plenty of real life activities to explore and investigate. To get things started, Playgroup will be receiving a visit from the RSPB Rye Mead to give the children an hours interactive play called “It’s A Bug’s Life”, which will include hunting for creepy crawlies in our garden! We will also have our very own live butterfly house with five feeding caterpillars and our ‘pond’ of frogspawn. These wonderful real life activities and experiences will provide the opportunity for the children to show curiosity and interest in the features of living things. We will encourage the children to describe and talk about what they see so they can begin to learn about change and patterns, similarties and differences and question how and why things work.
