Badges

WPIT were in a bit of bother again today when someone had noticed an employee doing some work in public, without their security badges! 

Barn owl diagrams

WPIT employees have been hard at work today creating diagrams of barn owls for the website. They are labelling all the ways that barn owls have adapted, to survive. 

They are coming along nicely! Wait and see them on the WPIT website when they are finished! 

Owl training from the RSPB

A barn owl expert came in to WPIT headquarters to share her knowledge of barn owls. This was very important because the team are looking after more than one owl box and must make sure that their expertise is up to date. Lucinda also showed the team the barn owl website page from the RSPB where she works, as a member of WPIT told her that their website wasn't very good.  She gave lots of good tips about making their website stand out too! 

The owl expert from the RSPCA

After Lucinda left, the team got straight to work writing facts about barn owls for the WPIT website. After all that hard work, they deserved the weekend off!

WPIT - The Wildlife Investigation and Protection Team

WPIT 

The WPIT were in a spot of bother this week when they received a letter about their website. A lady was complaining that there wasn't enough information on it, even though she thought it was a lovely idea to have it. Oh dear!   

 So we quickly went to our website and had a look at it to see what she was complaining about. We felt very proud of how it looks when you first enter it - it really shows what we do at WPIT!  

  Whilst we were there we checked out our owl cam that Aiden and his team had installed in the owl box. Brenda and Boris are doing brilliantly and we got a good look at Baby Bard! One of the other eggs looks like it will hatch at any time! Unfortunately, when we looked at the nocturnal animals page of the WPIT website, we found out that the complaints were justified. There was no writing on there! Goodness me. What on Earth had happened. We asked the website team and found out that they hadn't been doing their job properly. Oh dear. Somebody might need to get the sack!

We found out that the website expert had an awful lot of problems last week. She had trouble with her computer and the internet and couldn't get on at work. She decided that she would have to finish the work at home, but didn't have time to do anything because she had to cook the tea and look after the baby. Oh dear! We had to make a big decision. Her colleagues thought about how she might be feeling and considered how unfair it would be to sack her when she had worked so hard. They decided that they should all help her to make it right.  The WPIT are very caring!

Finishing touches and Beebot problems

We put some finishing touches to our East Harling leaflets today, then had a go at problem solving with the Beebots. We had to work collaboratively to find out how to make maps for the Beebots to travel on.

Working out how bug the squares needed to be was the first step.

Meanwhile, others were putting some great finishing touches to their leaflets after thinking carefully about how they can be improved. 

Now we need to send them to Ant! 

Cheerio Holly

We have said Cheerio to Holly today. We made her a good luck book and Ethan brought her some crispy cakes that he had made. We had a free choosing party afterwards and had time to spend with Holly. What a lovely morning!

Don't forget us Holly - and let us know how you are getting on in your new school!

Our Easter Enquiry

We had some hot cross buns with class 1 today. We thought about what they smelt and tasted like, then had a think about why they have a cross on top. We had some great ideas, like it's because they are made in England, and because they are called hot 'cross' buns. We wondered if the name came before the bun. Some others thought it was to do with Easter and Jesus.

We had a story bag story with a road on a purple cloth. At the end was a cross. There was a king on the road and lots of other people around. Some were crying because they loved him, some were crying because they had let him down and some hated him. We wondered why. We had lots of great ideas! We found out that the king died at the cross, then was taken to a beautiful garden. We wondered why. We thought of lots of ideas.

We made our own crosses out of twigs that we collected and by decorating some card ones. The twigs made us think very carefully about how to bind them together. We had to work together to make them secure. Mrs Sergeant told us the story about what happened to the king next. Ask the children from class 1 or 2 about it and they will tell you.

Our beautiful display!

Look at our incredible art work on display. Isn't it wonderful?!
