We have been
very busy preparing for this year’s ‘Big School’s Birdwatch’. We have been
making more bird seed cakes which we have hung in the school grounds. Using our
skills of observation we have recorded the number and species of birds we have
seen so far.
We have also
built two bird hides to aid our observation of the birds. We have already seen
quite few different species of bird, even two male pheasants strutting across
our school field!
We have
created beautiful drawings and paintings of the birds we have seen.
For our
class assembly we created our own mini documentary on birds and gave
instructions to the whole school on how to prepare for successful bird
watching. This was well received and has enthused lots of children to join in
at school and at home, in the ‘Big Garden Birdwatch’,which takes place this
coming weekend (Saturday 30th January-Sunday 31st
January).
We are
making great strides with our spoken Spanish. This week’s colour was ‘blanco’,
which was explored on the colour table with numerous objects brought in from
home of the same colour.
Mrs. Wood
has been encouraging us to work together to draw maps of
Manchester, to support our geographical work.
On Friday,
to our amazement and surprise Mrs. McFarlane brought in her new puppy ‘Vinnie’
to visit our class. I am sure you will agree by looking at the photographs, he
is gorgeous! To help our mathematical understanding of measure, we will be
tracking ‘Vinnie’s’ rate of growth over the next few months.
On Monday
Mrs. Warran (the student teacher), will be joining us. She is really looking
forward to teaching us.
