This week, Year 8 have been showcasing their Service-learning projects on the theme of helping the environment thrive. From wildlife hotels to hedgehog awareness activities and sustainability drives, they have been busy looking at how we can reduce our impact on the environment and act more sustainably. Learning For Rights: Participation and Action is one of the strands of the Social Impact Award through which children are empowered to enjoy and exercise their rights and to promote the rights of others, using this as a foundation for widening their Social Impact and working towards the global goals. Service-learning helps develop the key drivers of wellbeing: social connectedness, gratitude, autonomy, and feelings of competence. Additional benefits include improved attitudes to self, school, learning and community and the development of critical thinking skills and emotional intelligence.
Year 10 are also working on their Service-learning projects and will be showcasing them later this term.
Year 12 have been spending a lot of time in Sports Hall One over the last week. Not doing sport, although they could tell you the science behind it…
There was a fun packed programme for the secondary students remaining on-site, which followed the 5 Co-Curricular strands. Students were immersed in languages, film-making, STEAM activities and cooking. They learned about children's rights and advocacy, and showed their creative talents through artwork. They hiked in the hills and formed friendships across year groups. See the Firefly page for further details and photographs
It has been a very memorable end of the primary journey for our Year 6 students. This last week of term has been jam packed. On Monday and Tuesday, the students performed the end of year production of ‘Olivia’, on Tuesday morning, there was a year group water fight and on Wednesday afternoon, they finally graduated with a special ceremony.
As a community, we've been actively promoting healthy eating habits through our weekly articles about life in the kitchen. With the summer holidays just a few days away and the heatwave this summer, we must all be more mindful of our fluid intake.
