Getting to know our woodland

 We have been getting to know the trees growing in our woodlands, this afternoon. The infants were given tree identification charts to work out what trees the leaves they found belong to.






After that, each group was given a specific leaf. They identified it and came up with a story to tell to the rest of the group to help them remember what it is, incorporating it’s special features.  

I particularly liked the ‘Mountain Oak’.

The evening c...

Summer 2!

Welcome to Summer 2! Wow! Doesn't time fly? We are now in our final half term of this school year. The new home-learning timetable is up. Don't forget to email me with any updates or questions. I've missed you all so much during this unusual time but it's been wonderful to speak with you and your families and know that you're all getting on so well.  It's been brilliant to see snippets of what a couple of you have been up to over half term. Feel free to send me more photos as you know how much I love to see them. Layla Look at these wonderful drawings that Layla has been doing. It also looks like they had a very fun camp-out! Isabella I love that Isabella writes about what she's been up to. It's great to write with a purpose. Have a great day! Mrs C
