Autumn 1 – Little Explorers

This half term, we will be turning ourselves into little explorers! We will be learning all about British wildlife and how we can look after our environments. We will also be getting a visit from Sarah at the Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust who will be teaching us how to catch and care for minibeasts and build our own dens.

Bog Baby by Jeanne Willis
When two small sisters go fishing to the magic pond, they find something much better than a frog or a newt. They find a bog baby. Small and blue with wings like a dragon, the girls decide to make him their secret. I won’t tell if you won’t.

But the bog baby is a wild thing, and when he becomes poorly, the girls decide they must tell their mum. And she tells them the greatest lesson: if you really love something, you have to let it go.
