Maytree children have proudly started an initiative to look after the local community. Southampton City Council have allowed us to replenish the plants in some large brick planters and Year 1 were able to do this as part of their 'Rainbow World' topic. Jan Goatley, Headteacher, says 'Our children want to become responsible citizens of the future and this is a great way to start.'
Year R had a wonderful afternoon sharing our learning with our Dads, Uncles and Grandads. Thank you to all who made the effort to join us - we hope you had fun!
After a fantastic week Rabbits earned a class treat and made edible art. Rabbits discussed healthy eating and then used healthy ingredients to make some tasty art work. We had guinea pigs, other children from the class and and even Mrs Goatley!
Rabbits class enjoyed a visit from Pets at Home last week as part our our topic 'Caring for our World'.
We have been learning about how to care for the school guinea pigs and we have now also learned how to care for other pets. We met Biscuit the hampster, Midnight the guinea pig and our favourite was, of course, the rabbit!
During our Festival of Culture week, Year R learnt about Africa.
We flew in our planes to Africa because it is very far away! We tasted the fruits from Handa's Surprise and played with African animals. We even had a go at painting our own Tinga Art and made our own tribal necklaces.
