The Pioneers made great use of our magnificent school grounds this week. We took a trip to the forest to look for signs of seasonal change and forage for acorns. There were none! we found a few cups from last year and lots of leaves. We pressed the leaves ready for use later. Apparently trees may be suffering from a drought three years ago or may be tired after a bumper crop last year.  We matched colours with our colour cards too. We did some recording of the litter we found to add to detail to our reports on the Millenium Development Goals.

All of the Pioneers coped well with their outdoor kit and the wellies all went home to the right house!

On return to the classroom we looked at Not Lost, a book about a little rabbit who takes risks. We discussed the risks in our forest and how to stay safe. We also did a spot of painting inspired by David Hockney.
