Ribbleton Avenue Infant School

Happy Easter everyone! The caterpillars have grown lots this week! They are moving around the pot lots and have shed their skins a number of times. There is also lots of webbing inside the pot. The caterpillars spin webbing to help them stick to leaves and plants in the natural environment, then they don't get blown away by the wind. I hope you've had a lovely Easter and enjoyed some treats! 🐰🌻🐣

Hi everyone! The caterpillars have been moving about a lot today and climbing up the sides of the pot! They look a little bit bigger too. Have you seen the little black balls in the pot? They are actually the caterpillars' skins! They are called 'exoskeletons' and they shed them a number of times as they grow. I will post again when there are some more changes.

Hi everyone! At our house, we have had a delivery of some caterpillars! I will post a daily update on here for you to see their changes. You could make a little diary of their changes and draw some pictures too 🐛

THIS POST IS FOR ALL YOU AMAZING GROWN UPS 🌈

Dear Mums, Dads, Carers Please remember one thing on your list of 400 today.. You are not a teacher. You are a parent. You’re not home schooling, you’re ‘crisis’ schooling. You cannot possibly become a teacher or nursery nurse overnight and do it whilst the world around you grinds to a halt. Your job is to continue some sort of a ‘fun’ learning structure, with love. Patience above anything. That’s your goal every day. This is hard mean, it’s really hard. If you get through this with nothing achieved or ‘taught’ but you kept everyone safe and calm… You are a warrior. The kids will learn when they are back in school. From you, right now, they will learn that they are loved and that their family are legends. They held it together. That’s enough. It’s so very much enough. When her hard times come, she will look back, straighten her crown and remember whose daughter she is. Or he will remember whose son he is. And that, is pretty amazing work, if you ask me. You got this. We got this. And for that, we salute you!
From the staff at Ribbleton Avenue, we truly do salute you!
Happy Easter grow-ups 🐣 Eat Chocolate, have fun and remember to have some me time!

Hope you all enjoyed our Interactive PHSE session where we looked at the story “Silly Billy” by Anthony Browne. It was all about a little boy called Billy who used to worry a lot before a visit from his Grandma. Who told him all about Worry Dolls and how if he told his worry’s to the Worry Dolly’s and put them under his pillow at night, his worries would go away. 🧸 Why not have a go at making a Worry Doll or Worry Monster at home. Here are a few ideas and some poems that can sit by your Worry Monster or go inside a little bag with you Worry Dolls. You could make them out of sticks, pegs, lolly sticks or even paper.
Remember to tag us if you make a Worry Doll or Monster 🌻
