Road Safety Week

RSPB Wild Challenge

During this week’s Woodland session we completed our first RSPB Wild Challenge. We surveyed the Woodland and playground area to find signs of wildlife. We created a shared piece of writing which showcased our findings. At our next Woodland session we are planning to create shelters for some of the wildlife.

Our Creations

Whilst creating our structures we use the blueprints to help plan then collaborate with others. Some learners use measuring tools to measure their structures or apply the problem solving skills they have been developing with Miss Ralston to improve their structures.

Nativity

This week everyone received their lines for the Nativity.  We have been working really hard in class and at home to learn our parts. The learners are very excited to share their performance with you on Friday 16th December.

We hope you have a lovely weekend!
