To celebrate Sir David Attenborough’s 100th Birthday 🎂 Early Years had a whole day learning all about his illustrious career and life. We firstly watched a video all about is life and how he became so famous. We designed a birthday cake for this momentous occasion. We became naturists exploring the outdoors to discover what creatures our environment has, and we read a story called ‘The undersea cleaning spree’.
