A huge thanks to everyone for sending all their Eco work and ideas in. Each class received lots of lovely Eco posters and items of work.

We also had a number of photos sent in for tracking animals during your daily walks.
I have added some here –
We have also been very lucky to have been sent some photos from our Schoolhouse neighbours, can you guess what bird has made a nest in our greenhouse?
Our reporter tells me there are 6 hungry mouths waiting to be fed.

Well-Being Wednesday: Mr.Mutch vs Mr.Reid… Not Here
They’ll Be Back… Soon
We Promise!
Mr.Mutch and Mr.Reid both needed to pause production of their Web-Show to focus on the Big Night In.
Mr.Mutch and Mr.Reid are both working really hard to get everything together for the Special Event
They can’t wait to enjoy Friday Evening with you all!
They are really happy with the reception that the Web-Show is getting but at times the teachers struggle to think of a challenge. Do you have any ideas?
Mr.Mutch and Mr.Reid look for challenges that everyone can take part in. Challenges that people can submit a score, time or distance rather than a who did it better task.

Mild Numeracy – What’s the Time Mr Wolf?
Tick Tock! Look at the Clock!
If you have made a timetable you might need to set an alarm to remind you to do something.
I have an alarm set for 11am to remind me to photograph the sky and an alarm set for the time I should be going to bed!
Throughout the day look at your clock on the hour and half past the hour, maybe you could set an alarm in your phone. What are you doing at those times?
Make your own clock
to do this you need to be able to
- write the numbers 1 to 12 on stones, shells, pieces of slate.

Dandelion Clocks!
When I was little I would love finding these seed heads intact and using them to ‘tell the time’. I would blow the dandelion and say 1 o’clock, blow the dandelion – 2 o’clock etc. I would ask what time it was and then try to blow the dandelion that number of times to confirm that a dandelion clock did work!
What’s the Time Mr Wolf?
Watch these children playing this game. Could you do this with your family?

Today’s poem focuses on the subject of keeping our minds healthy, and describes one person’s way of dealing with his worrying thoughts.
