The Squirrels have settled really well into Year 1 and are becoming increasingly enthusiastic about their learning and activity time.

This week we carried on with our Science lessons and went on a material hunt around the classroom and our outside area. The children worked in pairs to investigate which material is used the most in our immediate environment. They predicted that it would be plastic and were very keen to find out if they were correct.

As it turns out, the results showed that there were equal amounts of wood and plastic.

The children really enjoy quiet reading time which happens every afternoon. If they are calm and reading quietly a quiet critter may come and sit next to them. However, if they become chatty then the quiet critters return to their box because they prefer peace and quiet.

We can’t wait for next week, when we can take a look at everyone’s baby photographs and try to play ‘Guess who?’!
