I love this poem Emily wrote whilst sitting on a bench looking at a tree.
Scavenger hunt poem-A life of their own
Reginald was a mighty old tree,
Stuck in the concrete, never to be free,
He wanted to live just a normal life,
Like humans that cook with a knife,
Like humans that have have fun all day,
He wanted to go out and play,
He wanted to go on a swing,
That would be his most favourite thing,
But instead he was stuck in the ground,
Never free but safe and sound.

Birdwatching
How many of you have noticed more birds in your garden or parks these past few weeks? Talking with the children in school yesterday, we all thought that there seemed to be more birds around. The RSPB(The Royal Society For the Protection of Birds) has a great website with downloadable bird spotting sheets or an online bird identifier. So you can spend some time mindfully watching the birds and discovering which ones line in your garden or next to your homes. Have fun and enjoy.
Walking From Home
The wonderful people at Living Streets(Travel Tracker) have created a space that children, parents, carers, families and teachers can access to help everyone keep active and engaged whilst we are all doing our distance learning. You can find important updates about Walk To School initiatives, news, stories and free resources and activities. They will be releasing new resources on a weekly basis so keep logging in.
