Visitor in Grinshill
We are very grateful to Mrs Gilbert (Beatrice’s mum) for coming into school today. Mrs Gilbert is a vet and was able to talk to the children about some animal skeletons.
The children asked some very interesting questions and enjoyed holding the bones.

Tips for Encouraging Open Discussions about Digital Lives
A free online safety guide on Digital Lives.
Most parents frequently chat with their child about how things are going at school or what’s happening in their friendship groups – but those discussions often doesn’t extend to youngsters’ online activities. In fact, National Online Safety conducted a recent survey which found that only slightly more than half (54%) of parents regularly talk to their children about staying safe online.
It can be an awkward topic to broach and, of course, it needs not to feel intrusive. However, just checking in with your child about their digital life can get them thinking about online safety and alert you to any issues they might be having.
In support of Safer Internet Day 2023, the #WakeUpWednesday guide has some useful tips on potential ways to start those conversations.
Science in Grinshill
Today we have been investigating owl pellets as part of our topic on skeletons.
The children had to work out the age of the pellet and which owl it belonged to. Once inside the pellet they had to pull out the bones and identify the animal that had been eaten.
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.
