We say "the bird is in the tree" because the position of the bird is somewhere in the middle of the tree.
"At the tree" would usually refer to something on the ground near the base of the tree.
We say "into" your notebook.
Addressing a class, you should use the plural.
Note that I am in the US. The last answer (plural) is correct for both US and UK, but people in the UK may differ on those prepositions. There are some differences in the way we use prepositions.
