Earth Day

On Wednesday 8th January we held a whole school immersion morning into our new cross subject theme – Planet Earth, our home habitat.  Children were asked to research continents and countries over the Christmas break and to bring in their work to share on this day.  We are amazed by the sheer amount and diversity of work produced.  All children were given awards with many of them being diamond awards for effort.

We explored the given continents further in our new research groups and culminated the event with a design board showing what they had learnt (Africa, Antarctica, North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia (Australasia)).

The children really enjoy learning in this way and support each other really well.  The groups are mixed abilities with children from each year group and this kind of activity highlights how effective and powerful child led learning can be.

Our work is currently up in both classes and also the hall so please come and have a look at what the children have done.
