Flying Start @ Redruth Learn About Growth!

Flying Start @ Redruth have been focusing on a theme all about growth with their older children…

They have been exploring seeds and how they grow, and reading the fantastic story of ‘Tildas Seeds’!

They’ve also been enjoying the much-loved story of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’, which has inspired them to think all about how people and animals grow too!

Now the children have planted their own seeds, and are looking forward to nurturing their plants, and watching them grow…
