Mead Room






Wow, what a fun first week of holidays we have had in the Mead class! On Monday we made animal masks and then went and hid in the garden. Miss Sarah and Miss Amelia got into their Jeep and went on safari, hoping to see some wildlife. Well, it proved to be their lucky day as they saw tigers, lions, a crocodile, a giraffe, and even a new hybrid species- the “tiger-lioness” ! Luckily they managed to get a photo of this magnificent creature, which they will consult Sir David Attenborough about when he is in town.
On Tuesday we had a Wacky Hair day. Some of us came to school with crazy hair, while others took advantage of the School Salon and came away with hairstyles that stole the show! We had spiky hair, blue hair, pink hair, gold hair, spotty hair, even hair with feathers in it!
On Wednesday we had a gardening day. We popped on our gloves, got our spades and rakes, and prepared the garden bed before we planted carrots, beetroot, mint, and freesia bulbs. We also planted broccoli seeds in individual pots for us to take home.
On Thursday we had a quiet, relaxing day and watched The Jungle Book and ate popcorn. There was even a tiger in the movie, but he wasn’t as ferocious as some of those seen on safari !
On Friday we came to school dressed in our favourite colours, and then took part in some Colour Runs. We all ran really fast in our colour groups, and then we did a big rainbow run. We all tried so hard that we were awarded gold medals in a medal ceremony that rivalled the Olympics. We wonder what fun things are in store for us next week !
