  Pancake Day Bears have been learning all about Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day. We discussed how Christians would use up all the ingredients before the start of Lent and that's why we have pancakes. We designed our pancakes, made our playdough pancakes, weighed out the ingredients and mixed our batter for making our own pancakes. Our pancakes stuck to the pan! We only had a little taste of one but were looking forward to having lots of them at home!  

 Internet Safety Bears took part in internet safety week and we learnt how to be safe when we are on the internet. We discussed what we would do if something came onto our screen that we did not understand or someone we did not know started to chat to us online. Smartie Penguin gave us some advice, "Before you tap and click, you need to stop and think! And tell someone". Topic - Chinese New Year In our topic this week, we celebrated Chinese New Year, learning about the different traditions and festivals that are celebrated. We practiced our Chinese writing and used our chopsticks to help with our fine motor skills!   We have also been  practicing our balance and coordination,  having fun riding on our bikes and scooters and playing with our parachute.  

  Outdoor Learning We have been exploring the woods in our outdoor learning, looking under rocks and logs to find different habitats. We observed that the insects lived under the rocks and leaves where it was dark and safe from birds and other predators.

                           Christingle Bears welcomed visitors from St Michael and All Angels church who helped us make the Christingles for the service at the church.
