Mead Room

Dear Parents and Friends,
What a wonderful week we have had in the Mead Room ! Many connections are developing as we explore how we can look after our planet. The children have been planting different types of seeds including Jock's rockmelon seeds that we dried from last week. We have discussed where birds live and how we can look after them and their homes.
Angus: We need to look after them if they are sick.
Tom:They live in the trees.
Toby: Baby birds come out of eggs.
Charlie A.: If they go into a window and fall down we can look after them if they have a wing that is hurt.
Tom:We need to look after the trees.
Angus: There might be nests in the trees and the birds won't have anywhere to live... so we need to let the trees grow.

Today we have watched a tree feller cut down a tree up in the big school and saw how he used a cherry picker, ropes and a chainsaw to take the tree down.
Alex: Dey cut de srees, da sound.
Jock: He cutting da tree down. He swinged it?
The teacher asked, "What machine did he use?"
Charlie M : A cwane!
Angus: A Erevator!
Jock: A wope! (rope) Then it falled down.

We are looking forward to having a bird watching picnic next week up near the big oval to use our homemade binoculars.
Kind Regards,
Emma, Pip and Amelia
