The Robins and other birds
10 Jan 2025Welcome back to the Spring Term in Russell Robins. We’ve had such a great start to the term and it was lovely to meet two of our new Robins. We will also meet our remaining children over the next few weeks and months as children are able to start mid-term once they turn 2.
This week’s topics were Marvellous Me, Settling in and Big School Birdwatch. We will continue to explore birds over the next few weeks and during this month. They have enjoyed spotting blue tits, dunnocks, robins (the feathery kind) and pigeons. During our wintery walk around the school grounds, we identified a redwing eating berries from the hedge.Our existing children have been very caring and helpful to the new Robins and it is wonderful to see all the children exploring their environment and sharing the resources so beautifully.
A couple of changes were made during the Christmas break and these have been thoroughly enjoyed by the children. The Robins liked exploring our new rocking chair and moses basket in the home corner. As you can see, our classroom environment offers a home-from-home feel due to its natural resources and cosy furnishings.
