Eco Challenge

Secret Eco Challenge

What a busy week all the classes have had working on their secret challenge linked to Eco Week.

Each class worked on differentiated activivities to create their fiction/non fiction book.

We had a show and tell during  assembly so that everyone could have a look at the books that had been created and then each class described their book to rest of the school and children from the Family Centre. Two of our pupils, Gemma and Dylan explained all about the book they made in their class.

All classes  embraced the Eco topic challenge and incorporated it into CfE. Some of the classes created Clicker strories about recycling, Classes Arran  and Sanda created sensory stories and some classes created 3d models using junk.

Have a look at some of the amazing photgraphs below.

What is the Secret Challenge?

This week all classes have been involved in a secret challenge set by Mrs Wallace and the Senior Management Team.

The challenge involves all classes writing a short fiction or non fiction book as part of our Green Flag Eco Activities and feature topics such as litter, school grounds or waste minimisation.

Mrs Wallace also informed the classes that prizes will be awarded for the best book.

Watch this space for updates on the books created by the pupils.

Eco Week – Stone Soup

Stone Soup

As part of Eco week Class Orkney along with Class Unst planned an event to bring everyone together in celebrating the outdoors.

Using the wonderful outdoor space at IMS, and sme of the Forest School resources, the two classes worked together to create an eco-experience for the whole school.

The activity was based on the story of “Stone Soup”, where a group of hungry soldiers teach a village full of people a valuable lesson in sharing and kindness.
