It was fascinating to learn about the standing stones and we had lots of questions to ask about this. Any other experts out there please get in touch as we still have lots we want to know! Huge thanks to Mrs Black and Mrs McRobb for their help with this trip.
Community Partnerships As we were learning about our local community last term we were delighted to welcome lots of our parents and community members in to share a little about their jobs with the children. Mr Worth shared a bit about the windfarm which led the children to write some persuasive letters to our local Councillors. The children were delighted as they received lovely responses from all the Councillors, and some offers of further information about the plans. We enjoyed a visit from Lorrie Bilsborrow from Midmar Fisheries and also Nigel and Gordon from Midmar Men’s Shed. It was great to
hear about the kinds of things the Men’s Shed are involved in and many of our children were inspired by the input – particularly in finding out all that you can do with an old washing machine drum!
We would also like to say a huge thank you to the Men’s Shed for their help in our playground – we very much appreciate all their support and kindness. Thanks go to ALL those who came in to share with us in school last term.
Learning Focus this Term - Can you HELP? This term in school we are learning about “ Plants and Living Things” . If anyone has any expertise in this area we would love to hear from you.
