Oak class’s activity was called ‘How to sell a nest to a pigeon or a hole to a mouse’ and was a fun speaking and listening activity. Children convinced their partners (who were pretending to be various woodland creatures) that Grove Woods was a good place for them to live. Supporting the school’s recent focus on oracy, the students produced convincing and persuasive conversations demonstrating their knowledge about woodland habitats which were often very humorous and entertaining. Marie and Jo said ‘good bye’ to year 6, thanked them for their contribution to Blyth Woods and encouraged them to come back and visit
The annual Teddy Bears Picnic was enjoyed by Sapling class who took a leisurely walk through Vicarage Grove taking in the surroundings and looking for the 15 hidden teddy bears. Once found they all sat down in the shade of Grove Piece for a picnic of Ginger Bread biscuits, made in class that morning and fruit.
Seedlings class and their parents helped collect mulch (crumbly leaf mould) in Grove Woods and transported it to St Peters Pightle where they mixed it with soil and spread it in the newly built planters in the Seed Nursery. They also had time to admire their hedge planting by the pedestrian entrance completed earlier in the year and dig in some manure.
Thank you Mr Stone , Miss Sacco, Miss Welby and all the teachers at Wenhaston Primary for their own going support – Marie and Jo are looking forward to the next school year.
