During forest school this week we tried to see as many different birds as we could. We were very lucky to see a red kite and a buzzard looking for prey and other more common birds. The children will be bringing home a sheet to see if they can identify birds in their garden. 
Pimhill Class Bulletin
Friedensreich Hundertwasser
Friedensreich Hundertwasser believed houses should be beautiful and like nature have no straight lines.
We have looked a photographs of his houses in Vienna and have begun to create our own. We drew wavy lines, circular, square and arched windows and added lots of detail. Next week we will add some colour just as Hundertwasser did.
Seasonal change
As part of our work on seasons we will be following what happens to a tree in forest school. To do this we made a wooden marker disc to mark our tree. Kris helped us saw the disc. Mrs Foster helped us drill a hole and other adults helped us tie string through and write our initials on it. We then went to find a tree to hang it on. The tricky part will be remembering where our tree is !
We will be looking at how the tree changes throughout the year.
Signs of winter
This week in forest school we were looking for signs of winter. Luckily the weather allowed us to find lots. We loved seeing the snow drops and finding sheets of ice.

Pimhill Overview Spring 2023
Happy new year and welcome back.
It has been great hearing about the children’s news and what they have been up to during the holidays. During the Christmas holidays I have seen many social media posts about what children do, not what they receive that is important. I can categorically say that what the children wanted to talk about was what they had done, who they had seen and where they had been. It sounds like you have all had a good holidays.
Here is the overview for the term, As always with EYFS it can be flexible and the children lead the learning hence the supertato day last term that took place because of their interest in the book.
Baarmy Bethlehem
This week Pimhill and Haughmond have performed their 2022 Nativity, Baarmy Bethlehem, in front of two full audiences of parents, family and friends. All the children performed fantastically and have made al the staff very proud with the way they have learnt their lines and songs.
Thank you to all those who came along to support the , helped with learning scripts and provided costumes for the characters.
Healthy Helpers
Today, the school council members from Healthy Helpers carried out a Health and Safety audit of the school.
They walked around the entire school with the caretaker Mr Jones and Chair of governors Keith Lister. They made sure the school was safe and identified any issues that may need addressing. The children were very thorough and carried out their roles fantastically.
Easter Egg Fun
In Pimhill Mrs Foster hid 300 paper eggs with the numbers 1-10 on. We had to find one of each number and order them. If we completed the challenge we got a real Easter Egg. It was the best morning in Pimhill. Mrs Foster was pleased with the way we helped each other to make sure we all got an egg. 
The Queen’s Jubilee Green Canopy
To start our celeberations for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee we planted 5 trees as part of The Queen’s Green Canopy.
In the rain Pimhill went out to dig the holes.
The sun shone when represenatives from each class came to plant a tree with Kris our Forest School lead and James Reynolds our govenor.
Lara led us in prayer .
In the afternoon Pimhill finished the planting and watered the trees.
Thank you to Albrighton Estate who donated our trees.
