launched by Place2Be and has been developed in conjunction with Oak Academy. The theme
this year has been 'Express Yourself.’ In the current circumstances, this could not be more
important.
In school, pupils have enjoyed a range of tasks, from nature walks on the field to playing boards
games, from making pizza to designing new buildings and objects with Lego! Many classes also
enjoyed meeting in a socially distanced way through Google Meet! It was clear throughout the
school that all pupils enjoyed this change to routine and it was nice to see some activities sentin
through Class Dojo.

The children were given a “What did you see?” species sheet with a range of 12 birds to identify
from the regularly seen robins and blackbirds in the winter to black headed gulls, carrion crows
and woodpigeons.
Whilst the children observed the environment of smaller hedgerows, gardens and a variety of
trees many birds were spotted.

They have learnt: To be quiet whilst observing
To be quiet when hearing a bird song
Walk slowly to see morebirds
Newbirds identified included Dunnocks and Goldfinches which
they felt was a lovely bird and manydid not know birds could be so colourful.
