Anti-Bullying Day
Lest We Forget.
We spent a lot of time remembering those who fought bravely for our modern world and engrossed ourselves in History this week. Looking at the context of WW1, the history of it, the battles, the survival, the technology, medicine, lives and society. We had some fantastic questions, curiosity and a wonderful openness to express our thoughts and feelings around this sensitive subject. What impressed us the most was the sheer respect shown by all and when asked "Why should we remember?" The answer was simply "We are the next generation and it is up to us to never forget what they had to go through!"
Wow! Well done! Please see some of photo's below which show a small snapshot of this week.
Lest We Forget
Restart a Heart. We all had an amazing, interactive session learning the basics of CPR.
DT Moon Buggies. We had an amazing time making our Moon Buggies. Using a lot of DT skills as well as planning, designing and editing our designs.
Science Day. We had a fantastic time creating and launching rockets, investigating the effect of sugar on the body and creating our own sherbert. Superb day of scientific enquiry and learning.
