Tiger Class – Book of the Month – January 2020

Every month, I will try to recommend a book to share with the Tigers. Sometimes, it will link to our Topic work or another subject and sometimes is just a great book to enjoy – reading for pleasure is just as important!

This month, the chosen book is “Charles’ Darwin On the Origin of Species”, by Sabina Radeva.

This is a beautifully illustrated introduction to Charles Darwin’s ideas. We currently have a couple of copies of this in our class, so the children have been able to explore it a bit already.

Tiger Class – Junk Masks

Tiger Class will be making Junk Masks next week with Mrs Harris.

If you have anything you think would be appropriate for this i:e toilet rolls, egg boxes etc please send them into school for this activity

Many Thanks

Charles Darwin-themed local events

Luckily for us, there are plenty of activities happening in Shrewsbury in the next few weeks around Charles Darwin’s life and work.

I will try to post as many ideas in our website as possible, and I am sure the children would really enjoy taking part in these as this is proving a very popular topic in Tiger Class.
