Our first ever week as Scarlet Macaw Base!

Wow! What a fantastic first week we've had in Scarlet Macaw Base. Already, we've started our topic on 'Rainforests' where we have brainstormed what we would like to find out about this subject. We've also been talking about our rights and responsibilties in school and have decided on the most important 6 for our class. These rights and responsibilties form our class charter which have been agreed by all the children in the class. The children understand that we have a joint responsibilty to adhere to the charter, thus making our classroom a happy and safe environment to learn in. Please feel free to come and have a look at our class charter which can be found near the book corner.
