Happy New Year
Happy New Year to all creatures from Club Wild. We hope it is a good year for all and especially for the birds, bees and butterflies. Look what a difference we made last year with the wild flower meadow at the front of school. It went from a patch of bare ground to a beautiful haven for bees and butterflies. Everyone enjoyed the amazing variety and colours of the plants. We used it as our outdoor classroom where we made butterfly feeders, learned how to take close up photographs and carry out bee and butterfly surveys.
Â
We are looking forward to the new year and for more adventures outside in nature. There is so much more we can do to help our wild plants and animals.
Below you will see some of our beautiful flowers from our garden.Â

This week was our class assembly was about WW2  , we all participated in it and we all did a fabulous job. Before we did our assembly we all made gas masks  and pin wheel poppies to wear for our assembly.Then for all the children on stage we made name tags.
We also wrote an imaginative story about a scarecrow who wanted to be real. Our main focus was describing the character and setting the scene. In maths we worked on dividing decimals by a single digit.
On Thursday we had badminton with Mrs Mooney and we played a really fast game of around the world. Surprisingly our top winner was Ella Watson, unfortunately Mrs  Mooney  didn’t win but she tried her best.
