Today in Barn Owls, we voted for our School Council, Sports Council and Class Gardener Representatives. Different individuals wrote their own speeches, discussed their campaign and then created posters which they placed around the school environment. Each candidate presently their speeches eloquently, audience members listened actively and then an anonymous vote, using our school ballot box, took place. The class' choice will be announced later this week - watch this space!

In Mindfulness Club this week we practised the skill of mindful eating. We made sure we had no distractions, we looked and smelt what we were eating before taking a small bite and tasting the food. Sometimes we eat without thinking but by slowing down and taking notice of what we are eating we can really taste and enjoy our meals.
This week in our Physical Education lessons, we explored how we could improve and develop our ball skills in small groups. We had to manipulate the ball around our bodies in different ways. We then moved on to using different passes such as the chest pass.
Year 6 have been working on a maths and DT projects around running a bakery. This project culminated in the children making a prototype for their bakery. A lot of fun was had by all and it was great practice for secondary school in bringing cooking ingredients to school. The washing up was also completed successfully! Well done Year 6.Joel Sutton from the Youth Mental Health Foundation (youthmentalhealthfoundation.org) joined Barn Owls on Thursday to help us identify our inner genius. We also did some team building games where we learnt how we all use our strengths differently.Barn Owls children shared their pop up books with Snowy Owls on Tuesday afternoon. Barn Owls children were excited to share their fairy tales and talk to the children about their DT skills in making the pop up mechanisms.Rev. Brooks led an assembly all about emotions. We explored the emotions we experience and how this may feel. He used a balloon to symbolise how emotions can build and may lead to anger. He explained that we need to be in control of our anger and not let anger control us and our actions. We discussed strategies we can use to reduce our anger such a deep breathing and finding a quiet space. We never want our anger to get to the point where we feel we are going to pop - like the balloon which Rev. Brooks blew up!
Along with the other 4 schools in the Moorland Hub we went to London yesterday. We are very grateful to Mr Lumby from Milton Abbot who sourced funding from the Houses of Parliament to contribute to our travel costs. Unfortunately, shortly before the visit the House of Parliament contacted us to let us know that we would not be able to visit them, as the had preparations to do ahead of the upcoming elections. |
