Lynx class became gardeners this week as they began to plant their daffodil bulbs. They began by dissecting a bulb and began to compare it to two different types of seeds- Cress and Sunflower seeds. The children will now begin to observe the changes in their plants over time 🌱⭐️

Children in Lynx class have been exploring the 'ue' grapheme this week in their Monster Phonics sessions. They read both real and non-real words to build up their fluency before creating their own words using their sound cards. Miss Macdonald is so impressed with their progress⭐️
