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.

Forest School Update – Tiger Class

Mrs Rohr and Mrs Davies will be taking Tiger class out for forest school every Tuesday starting 14th January 2020.

This session will take place in the afternoon so please send your child in their uniform on Tuesday morning with their full forest school kit in a separate bag. They will get changed after lunch and be returned to you at the end of the day in their forest school kit along with a bit of mud! 🙂

Please ensure your child has warm clothes,wellies, waterproof coat and trousers. Hat, scarf and gloves. Forest school will take place in all weathers.

Great news for Tiger class!

We have arranged for Tiger Class to have Forest School on Tuesday afternoons. So, from next week (Tuesday 14th January), children are to come to School in their uniform, as usual, but bring their Forest School clothes in a bag.

Apologies for the change of plans but we know how much the children enjoy those sessions. If you have any queries about this, please contact Mrs Crowe or Mrs Davies.
