In Forest Explorers this year we spent a lot of time learning to recognise different trees. I mentioned a few times how the Rowan is also known as the Mountain Ash. Well, I was walking up Skafell Pike yesterday with child one and lo, what did I see but a Rowan! Who knew?
We had a fabulous first day in Year 4 on Wednesday. The children shared their Hopes and Dreams for the coming year and recorded them in these kaleidoscopic works of genius!
I can’t wait to start meeting them properly come September!
Well, “It’s the end, but the moment has been prepared for.”
Thank you everyone that has followed 2D over the last 4 years. If you wish to continue following elsewhere, for the jokes if for nothing else, the adventure is only just beginning. Check out @bollinprim4d
It was a lovely final day. The children were so helpful - a convoy of little people conveying all my 2D detritus to my new Year 4 home. It has been a challenging year but made all the better thanks to the wonderful parents and fabulous children. I can’t thank you all enough!
My last day of tweeting from this account (sob). We have been through so much together!
Let's end the day as we started:
What do you get when you cross a cat with a lemon?
A sour puss (b-dum!)
I'm very excited about my new joke book - thank you everybody. 😀😀
Here's one for the morning:
What did the mouse say when it broke it's front teeth?
Hard cheese.
This morning to help round off our science topic, Animals Including Humans, Mr Darling’s dog Murphy came into school with Mrs Darling. The children asked lots of questions about how to look after a dog. When they returned to class they recorded all they’d learnt. @BollinPrimSTEM
A bit of holiday fun for you. We have been exploring time over the last few weeks and teaching children how to read an analogue clock to the nearest 5 minutes. So 10 past 2, 25 to 3 and so on. Something to explore together!
Super party on Wednesday afternoon. Greetings Your Majesty, Corners, Everybody's on Tig, mindful bubble blowing, Pass the Parcel and an abundance of "healthy treats".
You were right @bollinprim2D, this book is amazing!! Just finished it whilst sitting in the sunshine - a perfect way to spend a few hours over Whit😊. If you're in Years 5&6 this is a MUST read. @penguinrandom
I also loved how these girls went off and made a start building their own full-sized tripod shelters. Woo hoo! Why not head off to Dunham and see if you can do this over the holidays?
Lots of fun in Forest Explorers today. We introduced the children to how to make a mini tipi, building on the clothes hitch and lashing work we did last week. Quite challenging but some tipi shelters were made!
