2P have been Scientists today by using their observational skills to conduct a survey. We took part in the RSPB’s Big School Bird Watch and spent time looking and identifying different bird species. We will submit our data to be used in the national survey. We were surprised by how many birds we saw considering how cold it was. Wood Pigeon were definitely the most common!

Well done to all our 6 Pride of Plover winners in KS1 for working hard, getting smart and being kind! #LovePlover
This afternoon 1/2K discussed the habitats of animals that fly. We focussed on the woodland and the different layers of the woods. We also discussed the importance of having woodland areas and what it would mean for birds if they were chopped down.
We then used natural resources to create a woodland picture.
This morning we introduced our new class text which is “Somebody Swallowed Stanley”. We revealed the front cover to the children and we made inferences about it. E.g. where do they think the story was set? They used their knowledge of animals to decipher that it must have been under the sea as he is surrounded by animals with gills! We also thought about what Stanley might be thinking and feeling. The children used the front cover to look for clues to prove their thinking. We then made jellyfish to decorate our classroom with a to represent the jellyfish in the story.
As part of our Spring Term expedition, The Blue Planet: How will what I do today impact tomorrow?’, we would like to take the opportunity to take our KS1 children to complete fieldwork at The Deep in Hull. The visit will be a full day where the children can see the spectacular aquariums with over 3500 fish and other marine life.
We will also be participating in a Save Our Seas workshop, which will help us answer our guiding question – How will what I do today impact tomorrow?
To keep costs as low as possible the trip will be split across two days, 13th and 14th March.
1C, 2L and a group from 12K will visit on the 13th March 2024.
1M, 2P and a group from 12K will visit on the 14th March 2024.

As part of our writing unit, we have been looking at the Big Book of Birds. We started off writing about Parrots, making sure we used and to join our sentences. Then we applied what we had learned to writing about Flamingos. This week the children have completed an independent writing tasks about Robins. Very proud of you 1/2K. You are amazing. 🌟

As part of the expedition, we will be learning how bees and insects play an important role in helping our planet survive.
We want to invite the children to attend the KS1 Movie Night. We will be watching The Bee Movie.
The event is free to attend. However, we would appreciate any donations to help our birds survive in our eco-garden. This could be some bird feed, feeders, fat balls or a homemade bird feeder.
Please could you complete the form attached to book a place.
Yesterday, the children began to develop the mini eco garden by planting a fruit orchard.
To help the trees have time to grow, please could we ask that people do not walk on the grass areas and stick to the paths when dropping off and collecting from school.
Thank you in advance for your help in protecting our orchard.
