This week P7a have continued using “The Great Kapok Tree” as our book focus. The children have been researching deforestation and threats in the Amazon Rainforest in pairs, we will be writing a persuasive letter to the Brazilian Government next week to ask them to continue to reduce deforestation.
We wrote very moving recounts of our trip to the Lady Haig Poppy Factory, and had a fabulous discussion about the emotions we felt during the visit.
On Wednesday Springfield P7’s won the cluster Sportshall Athletics competition. We were extremely proud of the children who despite a long warm up walk to get to the leisure centre scored top marks for the event.
Yesterday we started our enterprise focus. We are helping the children gain skills for life, learning and work. The children have split into groups and have been tasked to come up with a business plan for their “product” which will be sold by them at the Christmas Fair. They have to look at planning, design, resources, costing, marketing and sales. Watch this space for more news…
