The students painting their beads for the abacuses they started last week. Step one was making 27 balls as their 100s, 10's & units - a great opportunity for cross-curricular work-topic, mathematics and D&T

Celebrating Diwali in Reception class!
We had fun making and painting diva lamps. We created our own rangoli patterns & learnt that Diwali is the Hindu Festival of Light.

We encouraged our pupils to create their own costumes by up-cycling old clothes and using everyday items to make something unique and original. If only we all thought this way....

Activist Greta Thunberg has turned down a major environmental prize.

"It is a huge honor," she said. "But the climate movement does not need any more awards. What we need is for our politicians…to start listening to the current, best available science."

@HughFW Have you got any tips for our inspiring Year 6 pupil?

[St Thomas Garnet's School @STGSchoolDorset]

@sascampaigns One of our Year6 pupils has started a “Plastic Free School” campaign - she's giving info to the
children & asking them to sign up to form a “Trash Mob” to reduce single use plastic & achieve Plastic Free School status. #plasticfreecoastlines #plasticfreecommunities
