Year 3- Botanical Gardens -a view of the Rainforest.

19th November 2014admin

Year 3 had an amazing Amazon adventure at Birmingham Botanical gardens last Friday. They saw some incredibly tall plants with enormous leaves as well as seeing insect eating plants as well as getting up close and personal with some Rainforest creatures! The weather on our journey certainly got us in the mood for the Rainforest climate-it poured down with rain! The people at the gardens were very complimentary about our behavior and how we tidied up our lunch room. A big thank you to those lovely parents that came with us to help us with our learning. We appreciated your support and the fact you gave up your precious time to come with us on our adventure.

Year 4 become Bear Grylls survival experts

17th November 2014admin

On Monday this week, the children in year 4 were able to learn some fantastic techniques to help them survive in an extreme environment.

They gained some superb knowledge from some incredible Parks Trust employees and were able to put some of these ideas into practice: learning how to create effective shelters, collect and filter water, find nutrition that was edible and learning how to create an effective fire to provide warmth.

The children were inspired by their ignite day and returned to school with some amazing questions and ideas for their learning in the new project.

A special thank you must go to the parents who supported us on the day and for all of the parents who volunteered.

Click on the link to watch the newly released advert for the Skoda Fabia, created by the wonderful Janelle in Class 2b! She wrote the advert herself and then recorded herself reading it aloud. We then used Windows Movie Maker to add Janelle’s voice recording onto a video of the Skoda Fabia.

 

Skoda are expecting their Fabia sales to go through the roof after this video goes live!
