On Monday Mrs Sloan came in and did the John Muir award with us.

We learned about deforestation and the effect this has on wildlife.

We found out more about the different bird songs you hear and which birds they belong to.

Sadly, there were not enough trees left in this forest for the birds to make new nests.

We wrote important messages on the playground to encourage climate action.
In maths we did some BODMAS calculations (order of operations).
On Tuesday we had another visitor called Fifi (Fiona) who came in for a bit to show us some plans for the Parkette.

This group added a bicycle shelter.

Lolly sticks made great bicycle stands.

We used different materials to give the plans a 3D perspective.
Then on Wednesday we started an art project where we used oil pastels to make a poppy and on Thursday we did writing where we created acrostic poems about Remembrance Day.

We will post some pictures of our poppies and poems once they are all finished.
