On Tuesday, For2Feet delivered scooter training to the children in Year 2. The children learnt how to check their scooter is safe to ride and scooter control games. The children then had the opportunity to practice pavement etiquette with pedestrians, identify scooting hazards, such as cars reversing from driveways and finding a safe place to cross the road; crossing with a scooter.
Vauxhall City Farm are offering a free 6-week programme for students aged 8-12 years old. Their newly designed Afterschool Club is aimed to instill a positive attitude towards learning and equip students with skills to help them succeed.
This is a free 6-week programme for students aged 8 – 12 years old.
Thursday afternoons 4pm – 6pm, starting Thursday 18th April.
Designed with a Project Based Learning approach, the group will tackle a real-life problem incorporating the four Cs of the 21st Century Learning Skills: communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity.
Assessing the needs of the farm and its community, the young people will determine a ‘problem’ and develop ways in which it could be improved, working together and using a hands-on approach. This may include working with the animals, growing and harvesting fruit and vegetables in our community garden and other practical farm tasks. The core subjects will be embedded throughout the project, incorporating a practical application of Maths and English in line with curriculum targets. The project will culminate in a presentation of their final product and involve their chosen audience, creating an opportunity for reflection and critique on the process, as well as the outcomes.
Please see leaflet attached for more details and how to register.
As part of our online safety offer, each week we will post a relevant guide to support our school community's knowledge and understanding of how to keep safe online and new things to be aware of.
This week the online safety focus is information about 'Encouraging Open Conversations'. Please click on the PDF to enlarge it.
