The Preschool children @ Flying Start Redruth went on a minibeast hunt in the garden!

Our pen pal, Steve the Spider, asked the children to be minibeast explorers this week. So, they explored different habitats and described the different creatures using their magnifying glasses!
 
They have been learning about spiders this week, and during their letters and sounds sessions have learnt new vocabulary such as arachnid.

Flying Start @ Redruth Cook with the Very Hungry Caterpillar

The Preschool children at Redruth have been learning about the Hungry Caterpillar and incorporating this into the daily provision.

The children practised their turn taking skills when mixing the ingredients together to make the pastry, and enjoyed a slice of pie for a very special pudding.
