In the garden with reception class

Yesterday we welcomed the reception class from St. Thomas's School to the Hazelhut to learn about the ecosystems in the garden.
Picture
Once we got to know all the students names we ate a nice healthy snack, ready for all the learning ahead.
Picture
Picture
The first ecosystem we went to look at was the new Hazelhut pond.  There were already plants and miniature pond creatures living in the pond, but we did not have a big animal living there, so the children helped to release Theo, the goldfish into his new home.

Picture
The students enjoyed looking to see Theo adapt to his new environment.  We think he will be very happy in his outdoor home.
Picture
Next we went to the compost heap to look at the little creatures which keep the soil alive for all the plants to feed from.
Picture
Next we went to see the rabbits and the children picked them some dandelion leaves, which they love to eat!
Picture
The children were excited to meet Smokey and Fluffy and to watch them enjoy their outdoor habitat.
Picture

Picture
Soon the chickens came to say hello, so the children had a look at their house as well.  They even found eggs!
Picture
Some of the children gave Brava a stroke.
Picture
Our tummies were starting to grumble so we headed back to the Hazelhut for a hand wash and some lunch - via the strawberry patch of course!
Picture
Picture
Picture
In the afternoon, we played a game to help the children learn about which animals are garden friends and which are not.
Picture
Then we went to the art room and all made a fly eating frog!
Picture
Picture
Then there was just enough time to enjoy the new sports pitch before all the parents arrived!  Thanks for coming and see you soon!
