This week in Learning Means The World, we have taken part in a week long design project. First, we analysed a pirate character and decided what his needs were. We then came up with ideas to create a remote contol to help him navigate the stormy seas and other problems he faces. Our designs had all kinds of imaginative, magical buttons. Our final design step today was to make the remotes and evaluate our outcome.
This week 2 Red have ben working as designers to invent a remote control for a pirate.
They followed the design brief, planned, edited and created their design all to fit the needs of their pirate.
Councillor David Francis joined us as a special guest in our assembly. He is a local councillor who is a member of the Green Party. He talked to us about what inspired him to want to make a difference in his local community and then presented the Eco Warriers with the Eco -Schools Award flag and certificate.
We look forward to welcoming him back to school so that he can find out more about our Conservation themes.
The theme of this Years Mental Health Week is ‘Let’s Connect’. Connection is vital for our wellbeing. Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections and Miss Smith from the Healthy Minds Team came into school to today and delivered and assembly to encourage our children (and staff) to connect with others in healthy, rewarding, and meaningful ways.
To celebrate Mental Health Week in school and to raise awareness of the importance of children’s mental health we have completed lots of different activities in class through out the week.
Last week the School Council and Eco Warriors worked together on a bird feeder project. We had a visit from Groundworks who talked to the children about visiting the tip, why you would go and what the children had dropped off. We then discussed how we deal with rubbish and recycling and the importance of 3 R’s – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
We learned the importance of keeping the earth happy and the damage of climate change. The teams made bird feeders from recyclable material and then we hung them around our gardens! The two groups worked so well together and were a credit to us all.
As part of our new theme Land Ahoy, 2 Blue have enjoyed carrying out a scientific investigation this afternoon. We designed and made our own boats and tested if they would float or sink. We discovered that boats made from paper did float temporarily but after a short while, they absorbed the water and started to sink.
In our new theme, ‘Land Ahoy’, 2 Red have used their scientific knowledge to help them to design and make a boat. We had great fun testing them out!
Breakfast Club
Due to the rise in the number of children attending breakfast club and the need to increase staffing levels in the hall.
From Monday 27th February, any child attending breakfast club must arrive before 8.30am. After this point the breakfast club doors will be closed.
Thank you
