Effective Contributors – Gardening
With the longer days the Transition class have started working on their raised garden. The class have been Effective Contributors preparing the soil and planting some leeks.
The Transition class have been helping out at lunchtime by collecting the rubbish from each secondary class. The class have been Responsible Citizens contributing to the running of the school.
The Transition class have been practicing hard for their events in sports day. They have been Confident Individuals listening well to instructions and perfecting their javelin technique.
The Transition class were Effective Contributors during their Earth Day Activities. They worked hard on a collaborative art work and then spent some time in the sun planting sunflower seeds that we harvested from last year’s sunflowers.
The Transition class took advantage of the good weather on Earth Day to switch off our electricity and go out into the park. They were Confident Individuals when practicing setting up tents for DofE. It was a little breezy but everyone persevered and got the tent up. We took time to have our snack together in the outdoors
The Transition class were Responsible Citizens undertaking a training walk for their DofE Expedition section. The task was to do a timed walk to the Palace Theatre. Those that already hold a Bronze award helped those that were doing it for the first time. Some lovely weather helped us out. 17 minutes on the way there, 20 minutes to return (there must be more uphill on the way back!)
In cooking class this week the Transition class were Confident Individuals. They were trying out smoked sausage and deciding if they preferred it hot or cold. The first major task was removing the wrapper! Once we all had a safe go at that, we carefully sliced some and tasted it cold. After that the class very carefully fried some in a hot pan before trying again. Choices of likes/dislikes were shared. Some pupils liked it cold and some hot. We will have to keep this in mind when preparing our meals for DofE.
The Transition class were straight back to hard work this week. They were all Successful Learners working hard towards their ILP targets. Everyone was really focussed and put in their best effort.
