Today we were busy building and repairing dens at Forest School. We had to work as a team to move logs and large sticks. We also looked for sweet chestnuts so that we can cook and eat them in a few weeks, but we think the squirrels have had the best ones! Lastly we learnt how to light the campfire safely using flint and steel.
We have a had a super, but soggy, time at Forest School this week. Over the last two weeks we have been picking apples and blackberries. Today we prepared and cooked them before eating them with custard. It was very tasty!
We were very excited to welcome our “Look at the Book” volunteers back for the first time this term. Today, they told the story “Daniel and the Lions”, focusing on our school value of the month; “Trust”. Thank you to our lovely volunteers! We look forward to seeing you all again in a few weeks!
This afternoon some of Owls class listened to Rabbit Class read their books. It was lovely to see the older children encouraging the younger ones. Rabbits loved reading with the older children and can’t wait to do it more often!
In Computing this term we are learning about technology that is around us. This week we have been looking at computers, we had to label the different parts and then we completed some tasks on the computer that involved us having to click and drag using the mouse. We found it a bit tricky but we used lots of perseverance to be able to complete the challenges!
Rabbit Class have been enjoying our class book ‘Troll Swap’. This week we acted out what we thought the main characters ‘Tabitha’ and ‘Timothy’ would say to each other when they met, then we created freeze frames to help us with our writing later in the week.
