In Early Years children learn about changes over time as a building block to history in KS1 and beyond. An earlier post on the blog details the children looking at some caterpillars that were delivered into Nursery. We now have an update a couple of weeks later... The children have loved watching the growth of our caterpillars this week and there has been so much language and talk while observing closely. They cannot believe how much they have grown throughout the week and today they noticed that some of them have moved onto the lid and begun to hang down. "I think they are getting ready to spin their cocoon" said one of the Shooting Stars! They cannot wait to see what has happened after the weekend!

1st March - In History, Team EO have continued our learning on the Great Fire of London. This week they have been ordering the events of the fire. They know that the fire started in a bakery shop on Pudding Lane as the oven fire wasn’t put out correctly and a spark fell onto the wooden floor. They know that it spread because the houses were close together, made out of wood and that it was windy! They also discussed the effect the fire had on London – like houses being built out of different materials and further apart! 15th March - In History, Team EO have explained about how they know about the Great Fire of London. They discussed the different sources of information and know that cameras were not invented in 1666. They identified sources which are most and least helpful such as dairy entries and paintings or coins. 12th April - In History, They have looked at the changes that were made in London after the fire. They know streets were made wider, houses were built further apart and that they were made out of brick.  Nursery have been learning about changes over time, an important skill and building block for history. On Monday, Shooting Stars had a delivery of 5 live caterpillars which they are hoping to look after and watch them grow into butterflies! They looked very carefully at them and noticed that they were very tiny and very still! During the week, they kept watching them and they cannot believe how much they have grown already! Shooting Stars have also noticed that they are eating the food in the bottom of the pot and are now doing lots of moving around too! They are looking forward to checking on their progress after the weekend. |
