We took part in the Giant Walking Bus to raise awareness of road safety and raise money for Brake. We went for a walk through some of the streets around Redwell and we were wearing bright colours to highlight the importance of being seen when out and about.
Our JRSOs then lead workshops on road safety throughout the school, sharing their knowledge clearly and confidently.
This week we have been busy putting the final touches to our renewable energy campaigns. We worked in our ‘expert’ groups to create a video advertising campaign using iMovie on the iPads.
We have also been working hard to make sustainable changes in Redwell. We have been working with the members of our ‘political party’ to discuss how we can be more environmentally aware within our school. We are hoping to roll out our ideas over the next two weeks and into next session.
We have continued to read Wonder and this week we listened to the song credited with being the inspiration for the book. We analysed the song and deconstructed it in the same way would deconstruct a poem. We were able to make lots of connections between the song and the book. We are working hard to finish the book before the end of term.
We became renewable energy experts today!
As part of our Sustainability learning we found out about 5 types of renewable energy:
*hydro
*wind
*biomass
*tidal
*solar
The first part of our task was to find out a minimum of 5 facts about our given area of expertise. We then found 4 experts for the other types of renewable energy and traded information with them.
We are now going to move on to work with our fellow experts and create an advertising campaign focussed on our area of expertise.
We were very fortunate to be invited along to the Armed Forces Day parade in Alloa today.
We had spent some time designing a flag to wave as we watched the parade and proudly showed these off today.
We heard the pipe band approaching first and then we were met by the impressive sight of people marching completely in step.
The children had a great morning and demonstrated a fantastic level of respect for our Armed Forces.
