Fairtrade Family Challenge – Competition Time!!

Leave a comment

Competition Time!!!!

Watch the video linked here ‘Guardians of the Rainforest’: https://schools.fairtrade.org.uk/resource/guardians-of-the-rainforest/

It follows the life of a boy named Beshey who lives and farms in the Gola Rainforest . If you are in P1-3 you could ask an adult to sit with you and help you take notes.  If you are P4-7 try to take notes on your own whilst watching the video.

What do you see in the Gola Rainforest?

How does Beshey live and farm?

Where does he live?

Your task this week is to create a picture of the rainforest/visualizer from what you have learned from Beshey living in Gola. Try to put in as much detail as you can. You can label your drawing.

We will be looking for the most creative and detailed drawings and visualizers.

This is a competition so do your best!!

Ask an adult to upload your pictures to the blog as a reply to this post. We will judge as a staff and a winner from each stage will be given a certificate and house points.

Have fun!! Remember to use the video to help create your picture/ visualizer.

CLOSNG DATE FOR ENTRIES – Monday 4th May 2020

Please send entries to : rmeimaroglou@chapelgreen.n-lanark.sch.uk

Family Learning Challenges

 

We know how hard it can be when you have more than one child working on different things during the course of the week. To try to address this and to perhaps help ease some of the difficulties, we have developed some family learning challenges.

These challenges reflect the work we have started in school and work that had been planned as part of our pupil committees, assemblies and curricular developments this term.

We will issue these challenges once a week and we would love to encourage you and your child/ren to participate together. This work can be completed in place of a piece of topic work and the class teachers will adjust their weekly planning to reflect this.

As we have a wide range of ages within our school, we will provide a choice of two tasks within the challenge for most weeks. You can, however, choose the task which you feel is most appropriate for you and your family. (Or just the one you like the sound of most!)

Certificates and points to be won for the weekly challenge winners

This week’s challenge follows our Fairtrade theme and will be posted on the school blog shortly.

As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact.

Hope you are continuing to stay safe and well.

Good morning,

I hope you and your family are keeping well during this very unusual and difficult time.

I hope your children are enjoying being at home.

Play is more crucial than ever before as it is beneficial on so many levels, emotional, physical and imaginative amongst many.

So please continue to encourage and support both free and structured play.

Here is a link for this week’s play grid. Indoor and Outdoor Play 3

There are lots of fun indoor and outdoor activities for your children to participate in.

Please continue to stay safe and well.

Good morning,

I hope you are all  safe and well.  Before the holidays we were learning about Fairtrade in assembly and in class. We even made Fairtrade banana bread and cookies.  They were delicious!

As we cannot continue this learning  in school for the moment we would like the pupils to engage in some family learning at home.

Family Learning Challenge

This challenge can be completed as a family if you have more than one child at the school.  Choose whichever activity you find most suitable for your family situation and the resources and time you have on hand.

1- Watch the video clip using the link below…

Indoor and Outdoor Play- Early Level

Leave a comment

I hope our pupils have had a wonderful Easter break. I am sure they will have had plenty of opportunity for lots of play both indoor and outdoor, especially with this lovely weather.

Play is an essential part of every child’s life and is  vital for the enjoyment of childhood as well as social, emotional , intellectual and physical development.

I have attached a link to a play grid for early years. This will be updated every fortnight.

If you would like to email any photographs of your children completing these activities these will be uploaded to our school blog. rmeimaroglou@chapelgreen. n-lanark.sch.uk

Stay safe and well. Happy playing!!

The pupils have been learning lots about Fairtrade during “ Fairtrade Fortnight.” We looked at Fairtrade products and the journeys they might take . They also learned about the importance of Fairtrade for communities around the world.  The pupils followed recipes using Fairtrade produce. They made healthy cookies and banana bread.
