Term 1 Week 2

A warm welcome this week to Lochlain Young to the TF Group. This week we have been learning about crayfish and the metamorphosis of caterpillars into butterflies. We have had Ninja Turtle masks in the making for LOTS of role play in both the MTW Group and TF Group!! Next week we start back into our Forest Kindy Programme with a number of new faces joining the group - we can't wait to get back down to the Reserve to explore and find out what's changed in our time away!
