Elm get muddy at Forest School
This half term, Elm have been one of the lucky classes to access Forest School right here in Natures Den with Emma. Emma is our Forest School Lead and delivers engaging outdoor learning for all classes throughout the year. This week, Elm got their wellies and puddle suits on to get stuck into the mud kitchen, the hammock, playing twister and making chocolate mud cakes.
Well done Elm!
Early Learners meet Flopsy and Mopsy
This week Early Learners went to meet the new school rabbits, Flopsy and Mopsy. The rabbits are white with long floppy ears. The children watched as the rabbits hopped around their pen in Lou’s office. Lou held one of the rabbits so the children could stroke them if they wanted to. The children also gave them some rabbit food and some cabbage leaves. Early Learners thought it was funny when Flopsy and Mopsy ate the same leaf and munched it until they bumped noses in the middle.
Soon the rabbits will be moving into their new home on the veranda and Jill will be leading Rowan Tree Primary School’s Care Club. Care Club will be open to all pupils across school and will focus on animal care.
