 Friday 21st July 2023  Football! This morning, the some of the Giraffes, Tigers and Leopards participated in a football tournament.

  Thursday 6th July 2023   Collecting Data Today, the Tigers and Bears went on a mission to find out what animals live in our school forest. We searched for beetles, butterflies, caterpillars and many other marvelous creatures.  We collected our data in a tally chart, ready to record next week. 

 On Tuesday, Tigers learnt so much about our very own Taddington field and woodland from Helen who works with Buxton Wild Weeks. Firstly, we went on a hunt for ladybird larvae. We then found a wide range of different flowers on our field, some of which we had no idea were flowers at all! The children found ‘cuckoo spit’ and learnt about the froghopper (or spittlebug) inside it. To support us with our current writing project of Tree reports, we spent the rest of the morning learning all about the different types of trees in our woodland.
