A most unusual find ...

After Mrs Burton visited Oak Class, asking whether Miss BB had been making prank phone calls again, the children decided to go out and about to investigate the unusual sighting that had been reported.

 They were astonished to find something unusual in the nest area, with some large bones scattered around. What on earth was it and who had left it there?




There was also some unusual, fiery orange stuff on some of the logs.




A debate was started about what to do with the egg. Should it be left alone, or should it be brought in to the warm? There were lots of different opinions ...



 so we had a decision alley...


...and decided to leave it overnight, then bring it in.

What's cooking in Oak class?

We have been learning about Anglo-Saxons and the natural resources that they used to make their clothing. Last Friday we went foraging for plants that could provide natural dyes for our wool. We rubbed some of them onto our sheets, to see what colours they might give. 











Then we cooked some! We were amazed by the colours that came out of the plants.











Look at all the different colours that can be made from natural dyes.

More sewing!

Today we have been working on our Roman bulla again. Some of us have finished and were able to put a 'lucky charm' inside. Ask me about these at home.
