In KS1 the children often get a chance to take home a furry friend. This classroom mascot likes to spend a few days with the child and has a diary that can be filled in.
At the moment Potter are waiting for a new friend to adopt them. Barnaby has retired and gone to sunnier climes and Miss Stickley is waiting for their new mascot to make him/herself known.
Butterworth have Winnie. Winnie enjoys spending time with the class members and taking part in whichever activities they do. Winnie has been to Beavers, Rainbows, swimming, has played the piano, been roller skating and many many more places.
Hargreaves class have Marvin the Maths monkey. Maths Monkey loves to visit the children at home, however he is only happy if he gets to take part in a few mathematical activities such as cooking, going for a walk and looking at numbers in the environment, playing a board game, singing some number rhymes and so on. He has visited several members of the class and has been bowling, played on an iPad, cooked pancakes and been to football.
Have you been visited by a class furry friend yet and if so what did you do with them?
Marvin was very popular at our house! So many children are looking forward to spending time with him. A genius idea from Mrs Matthews!
ReplyDeleteI have seen the book. What an excellent idea to show to the children that mathematics is not just a subject you have to learn at school; it is all around us.
