Enrichment Day –25^th February 2010

“There’s a real buzz about, isn’t there?”

Enrichment day had just begun, and the observer was quite right – there was a tangible sense of excitement filling the school. The children had had an opportunity to choose between 13 fabulous workshops and they were just gathering into their cross-age groups in order to begin their morning. From ‘Dance, Art and Big Lumps of Rock’ to ‘Seriously Science’; from ‘Strong Enough for Gym?’ to ‘Maths at the Movies’; from ‘Magical Images’ to ‘In the Forest’, the children all had a chance to have great fun – and extend their learning! – for a full morning focusing on a workshop of their choice.

“It couldn’t have got any better – it was totally awesome” and “I wish we had had longer!” were just two of the children’s comments at the end of the morning. Lots of smiling faces (adults and children alike!) showed that the day had been a great success – and the next one is already in the pipeline for June! If you didn’t get a chance to be involved, or to see the show of work and documentation, make sure you are on board for next time! Volunteers are always welcome!!

Batheaston C.E.V.C. Primary School

Goes Eco!

Everything at Batheaston CEVC Primary School has been going green this week, as the children have all been taking part in an Eco Week. Each day has had a different theme, including water, waste and energy, and the children in every class have been learning about many different environmental issues each day. Managing without their bins, having an afternoon without any lights and only using scrap paper for their work have been some of the challenges that they have faced during the week. Some children have thought up some amazing eco inventions, others have designed pollution information posters, whilst the oldest children have debated the issues surrounding wind farms.

Meanwhile, members of the school’s Eco-Team have planned their own eco-lesson to deliver to a class. Lots of fun and games have been had during the week, and the children and adults alike have had to think hard about the issues involved. The children have fundraised for WaterAid, via their ‘Buckets of Pennies for Buckets of Water’ fundraising project and the week culminated in the children dressing up as a fruit or vegetable to come to school! It was agreed that the funds collected today are going to be donated to the Haitian relief fund.
