Friday 6 May 2022 Class class3rd- 6th May 2022 This week our focus in English has been instructions. We have been listening and carrying out instructions, reading and following them and have used diagrams to help us write some. In Science we have been looking at and gathering data about wild flowers. We discovered the field had far too many to count! After designing a puppet last week we made paper prototypes on Wednesday. This gave us the opportunity to evaluate, change and improve our designs. Once again we have enjoyed cricket, today we worked on our batting and fielding skills. And finally we have celebrated the achievements of another three super learners this week, Willow, Peaches and Ella. Well done girls.

Wednesday 4 May 2022 A Mysterious Discovery There has been great excitement in Squirrel Class this week following the discovery of a large egg in the outdoor area. We thought it might be a dinosaur egg. To make sure that it was safe, we wrote signs asking people not to touch it and to be quiet around it. There was no sign of the mother, so we decided to build some traps to catch her without hurting her. It worked because on Wednesday night one of the neighbours heard a screeching sound and contacted the Natural History Museum. Two of their palaeontologists drove up to Spooner Row to collect the mother and baby and take them back to London to look after them. They were so pleased with how well we had looked after the egg that they left us a toy dinosaur. We have called him Spikey.
