Pott Shrigley Class 1 2019 - 2020

Mrs Turner

July 2020

Year one and two have settled back into the “new normal” at school. We have really enjoyed weekly farm visits, exploring the forest, helping out on the farm and we helped sew the wool bags, after shearing.

We enjoyed a week on dinosaurs, measuring and chalking dinosaurs on the playground, doing maths number hunts, making habitats and finding out dinosaur facts. 🦕 We read together, “Follow the Swallow” and watched the House Martins fly in and out of their nests in the eaves at Pott Shrigley School. This inspired us to write our own stories about, “The House Martins journey to Africa from Pott Shrigley.” 🦅 🏫 As we have been looking at birds we really enjoyed the visit by an owlet, which was an eight week old barn owl. 🦉 We have been closely watching our caterpillars, which have made cocoons and we hope they will become butterflies by the end of term. 🐛 🦋We have been working on minibeasts, doing fact files and a minibeast hunt on the cricket field, doing tallies of what we saw. We have harvested the potatoes and got about a bucket full in total, so have thought how we could do mashed potatoes, potato salad and baked potatoes with them for lunch. We also took a bulb of garlic home, to help with cooking at home. 🥗 🥔

If anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to ask us.

Take care.

Best wishes.

Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Novacki
