Easter & Bug Week

This week we have been looking at insects, spiders and other creepy crawlies and have done lots of fun things.  We have been outside with our magnifying glasses looking for insects and have visited a pond to look at some tadpoles.  We have had the plastic bug models out at preschool and have compared these to what we have seen in real life.  Outside, we drew our own pictures of tadpoles using the chalks.
On the games table, we have played the "Insey Winsey Spider Game" and "ladybird dominoes" which help us to count.  We have read some lovely books too - "growing frogs" and a book all about ladybirds.

We have also been looking at "Easter" and as part of this, have looked at ovals and eggs.  We even had an egg-rolling competition on the slope outside preschool.
On the craft table we made Easter chicks which pop out of their shells.
