Harvest week and the Woodland Trust Green Tree School Award

The Pupil Governors wanted to provide more outdoor learning opportunities and develop more awareness of eco issues. Having gained the bronze Green Tree School award, they wanted to go for gold!

During the week leading up to the Harvest Festival, all year groups took up one of the challenges set by the Woodland Trust. These included learning about the trees on the school grounds, activities linked to the 5 ways of Well Being, tee inspired art, tree dressing and holding a tree party. 

At the end of the week, we had completed enough challenges and were awarded the gold ward.

STEM week

During STEM week, the children are able to choose 2 workshops. These cover a range of science and design areas that increase engagement and interest in the subject.

The week concludes with a school wide competition; children work with others from across their key stage to design, make and test a machine. 

Mrs Norman organised an event for schools across Basingstoke.

Pupil Governors from Years 5 and 6 went to the Council Chambers in the centre of town. There was a speech from the MP and Mayor; a Question and Answer session with representatives from the different political parties in the council; and the day ended with the children planning and participating in a debate on school uniforms. 

In school, each year groups focuses on 1 aspect of UK Parliament and we look at significant individuals who have shaped the organisation. 

International Women's Day 

Throughout the school, we had a day to learn about inspiration women of the past and meet female leaders within our community. The IWD theme for this year was #BreaktheBias and we encouraged the children to think about how stereotypes should not hold people back.

Using books from the acclaimed 'Little People, Big Dreams' series, each year group learnt about an inspirational woman who had overcome peoples ideas about gender, race and other stereotypes. Fun discussions and activities continued the learning.
