So pleased with all the posters that the class has made today. Looking forward to hearing all about it all tomorrow.
Mr Leslie Scholland Farm
Today Mr Leslie came in to speak to the P4/5/6 and P6/7 class. We have all been finding out about Climate Science and he wanted to tell us about the approach by Scholland farm to climate friendly farming. He told us about the way that they feed the animals and fertilise the ground. Mr Leslie also talked about best practice in beef farming techniques. All of the Scholland Farm beef is sold locally – reducing the carbon footprint.
Thank you for coming in to talk to us and answer our questions.
Game design
This afternoon we had a fantastic game design session with Emma Chittick. We used arcade.makecode.com to design our own game. It was quite hard to follow the instructions but everyone managed to make their own game. They looked really good.
Conservation Volunteers Part 2!
This afternoon the P7s went out to plant trees, while the P6s were at Bikeability. It was a beautiful afternoon, perfect for outdoor learning. To begin with Ms Scanlan showed the P7s how to plant a tree and then the P7s worked in pairs / groups to plant as many trees as they could. After Bikeability the P6s joined us and in total we planted 38 trees. Fantastic for helping the fight against climate change. Well done!
The Science Show
This afternoon Sarah-Jayne Judge ran a Royal Institute Science show food show. It was a lot of fun and we learnt a lot about digestion, taste and explosions!!!
Microscope Magic
This morning Alba Abad our @EngageNepalScience scientist and Sarah-Jayne Judge ran a fantastic microscope workshop today. We had lots of really interesting activities.
Clarence the Climate Clatterer
Neil Bratchpeice, Sarah-Jayne Judge and Alba Abad Fernandez came into school this afternoon to run a comic book session. Neil and Sarah-Jayne explained some of the features of developing a character and the children gave Neil their ideas for our very own class character. It was amazing to see what Neil created for us. We also had a chance to draw a cartoon of our own, which we will finish next week.
Bikeability
The P6s had another great Bikeability session today. They are getting really good at all the manoeuvres.
Renewable Energy workshop
This morning we had a really exciting workshop with Emma Chittick. She taught us about renewable energy and then we had to make a LEGO wind turbine. At the end of the lesson we tested all the turbines to see which produced the most energy. Kathryn and Isla WON!!!
Mind boggling problem solving
Everyone was really engaged and enjoying the problem solving today. Lovely to see the effort going into solving all the different puzzles. We’ll done P6/7!
