Green Day

We had a lovely week last week. We had three little froglets in our tank when we got back from the holidays and we walked down to the pond and released them there. We are hoping that they will grow into adults so we can have tadpoles in our pond in the future.
We continued with our Lifecycles theme by finding out more about the lifecycle of a butterfly. We talked about symmetry in Maths and we made symmetrical butterfly paintings.
On Friday we had a trip to the zoo. We had a Lifecycles workshop where we were able to handle some artefacts and also stroke a snake. The man was very impressed with our knowledge. We were very lucky at the zoo as an elephant had been born that day and we were able to see it in the field with it's family. We had a really lovely day.
This week it was Green Day. We all came into school dressed in green and made donations to the hedgehog hospital. We had all the lights and computers switched off for the day and we had packed lunch at lunch time. At the end of the day we raised out new green flag. We all made a kite and had a lovely time flying them on the field. Did anyone fly their kite at home? Perhaps you could go to the park with your kite on the weekend. Please bring in pictures if you do!
Our sharing assembly was very successful. We had some lovely comments from the teachers and a wonderful letter from Maple class in Year 2 which said that we 'all spoke really clearly and your singing was marvellous.' I'm sure all the parents agree that the children did a fantastic job.
