SOFT SKILLS
On Tuesday afternoon, Year 4 took part in a soft skills afternoon. The children made cups of tea or hot chocolate. They even had the washing up to do afterwards! They also learnt how to do a primary assessment of a casualty and put them in the recovery position. Finally, the children had to practise tying both their own and other people's shoe laces. All of the activities were voted by the children, as essential skills to have acquired by the end of year 4! Thanks to Mrs Abercrombie for the story DOWN IN THE JUNGLE Last Friday, Year Five was very fortunate to have a rainforests explorer come into school. We learnt many mind-blowing facts and took part in many breath-taking activities such as: exploring the life of tribal residents; ,making colourful jewellery and viewing intriguing insects from the rainforest. Most of year five faced their fears by holding a tarantula and even a millipede. Did you know that when millipedes get frightened they spray a chemical? Don’t worry though, this won’t harm you! Year five had a brilliant day. a big thank you to ‘Dave’ the rainforest man. Thanks to Millie, Jessica and Maiya in Y5 for the story.
