Topic Day
We had lots of fun dressing up for our first topic ‘Life in the Alps.’ The children had to build and look at the different countries the Alps run through and develop their own model in groups, using lots of paper and mod rock. In the afternoon, we then went off to the Discovery centre to develop some fundamental orienteering skills and learnt the different compass points in a fun game.
We had a very successful parent workshop with the children focusing on a growth mindset escape room challenge. The children (with the parents help) were challenged to do problem solving activities to encourage the idea of “not giving up!” Throughout the tasks they were able to complete a range of codes and secret combinations to escape the workshop.
