Big Write

Over the next couple of days all children at Swallowfield will be taking part in Big Write again. The children will bring home their ‘talk homework’ either Wednesday or Thursday evening, in preparation for their Big Write the following day. Please find just a few minutes to talk about their ideas for their story. There is no need to produce written notes or plans, the focus is purely oral rehearsal. We look forward to reading their fantastic writing. Thank you for your continued support.

Big Garden Birdwatch 30th-31st January

Foundation will be taking part in the Big School’s Birdwatch over January and early February. They will be learning to identify different birds, what to do to help them over winter and counting them to add to the RSPB’s national survey.

Every year, the RSPB asks the public to carry out a quick survey of the birds they see around them to discover which species are thriving and which are becoming of concern. Our school has taken part over a number of years, with surveys, bird feeding and a range of bird boxes around our site.

To find out how you can encourage your own children in this and to find out more about taking part in Birdwatch, explore this site – https://www.rspb.org.uk
