This week, the children have been continuing their journey with Jonty Gentoo the penguin to the South Pole. Jonty has been swimming to his destination, supported by a tern who was on the journey of migration. This has linked in perfectly to the Great Garden Bird Watch. The children have been busy making bird feeders to encourage the birds to visit the space outside our classroom. They have been armed with binoculars and checklists, ready to spot any visitors. In the creative area, they have made vibrant birds using craft materials and on the playdough table have used loose parts to make cosy nests for the classroom birds!

The children have shown curiosity over different sized eggs and spent one morning keeping them cosy and warm so they were ready to hatch. We had baby penguins everywhere!
