The Owlets enjoyed spending the day in their new classroom environment with their peers. They created self portraits and used Chromebooks to write simple sentences about themselves which will be turned into a display in September. Throughout the day, the children had fun in our outdoor learning space where they displayed fantastic qualities such as, sharing. In the afternoon they all created submarines and then had some time in the shade in the environmental area to talk about their favourite parts of the day.

Fire Safety Talk

10/7/2022

0 Comments

 
This week, Barn Owls had a visit from a firefighter, James, who came over from Bovey Tracey. He made sure the children all understood how to prevent fires happening, and the importance of a safe escape route from homes, should a fire start. 
The children were absolutely gripped, and left with the task of checking that their homes had sufficient, functioning smoke alarms fitted.

Fire Safety Visit

6/7/2022

0 Comments

 
The year 2 and 3 children had a visit from a Taunton firefighter this morning. The informative talk taught them important messages about how to stay safe in a variety of situations, for example, the Stop, Drop and Roll technique if they ever found their clothing to be on fire. They were given homework which was to see how many fire alarms were in their house and to check them all every month.

Project Hundterwasserhaus

2/7/2022

0 Comments

 
The Key Stage 2 children who were in school in the later part of this week all took part in a collaborative Art & DT project. We found out about the Austrian artist & architect, Freidensreich Hundterwasser, and what features can be seen in his unique buildings and constructions. We learned that Hundertwasser was interested in the 'third skin' in which humans exist, and wanted to create places to live and work in that improved lives for people. His view was that as life can have enough problems, housing shouldn't be one of them.
Initially, we used nets to create simple 3D shapes, then the children worked in groups to design, plan and create individual homes that could be combined to create a Hundertwasserhaus (photos of finished structure to follow). Although use of the glue gun was a huge help in completing the very diverse and ambitious designs, the children were resourceful and resilient in working to complete their constructions using the initial materials they were provided with.
In addition to the homes, designs included large windows, roof terraces, sun/rain canopies, plants, swings, slides, trampolines and washing lines (much to Mrs Reid's delight).
