This week Pacific have had a wonderful week exploring lifecycles- this was a very messy eggsperiment! 

Pacific also enjoyed some maths games; coordinate battleships was a crowd favourite.

We are eggspecting chicks any day now! 

Once the chickens are old enough to go outside they will go to live with their forever families in our community.

This week we have made the most of the sun, venturing out to the playground to practice our relay skills! 

In art, we have created some beautiful mood boards in preparation for designing our very own patterns 🙂
