This week in Squirrel class we have been...
Writing reports as Arboriculturists for the Mayor of Milton Keynes, presenting him with their knowledge of plants and trees; how to care for plants and trees, what they need to survive and thrive.
We are coming to the end of out Ancient Oak tree mantle. Sadly, the Mayor deemed the Ancient Oak as unsafe and has made the difficult decision to fell the tree. As sad as this is, the Arboriculturists feel proud that the Mayor recognised their expertise and knowledge on plants.
Unfortunately, Scaredy Squirrel is still stuck at the top of the Ancient Oak and needs help to escape to safety. With this in mind, thankfully Squirrels have been practising their instruction writing skills and have suggested writing some instructions for Scaredy Squirrel to help him.
Writer of the week goes to Henry Wootton. Well done Henry for your pride and presentation in writing and the challenges you take and apply.
On Wednesday we share a whole school Christmas crafts day which all the children enjoyed. We had Christmas music and decorations galore.
On Thursday the whole school walked down to the village hall where Rev Dove turned on the Christmas lights. Children took pinecone decorations to place on the tree that they had made the previous day.
Maths - The start of a new chapter: Measurement. This week has been an introduction into units of measure, m and cms; practical measuring in the classroom and ways to record measurement.
A huge well done to Squirrel class on their Doodle maths this week. Top of the league! Keep up the good work..
This week was the last Forest School session for this year. To celebrate a wonderful term we made hot chocolate and Christmas cookies in the log cabin on the wood burner.
It has been a fun week in class this week with he added festive activities. Keep warm everyone. I hope you have a wonderful weekend whatever you do
See you on Monday
Miss Swain and Daphne
