Fashion design

This half term, the artists of Oak class have been researching, designing and making an item of clothing to fit the design brief: If I was living in Indigenous Canada what would I wear which combines what I like about our fashion, with their traditional clothing?

What might it be like for a visitor with dementia in our school?

Worship Council have been experiencing the difficulties people with dementia might have, when visiting our school.

Reverend Dave made adaptations to the children’s sight, hearing and physical movements. We walked through the school, completing tasks that visitors would need to do. We talked about how the difficulties affected the way we did things and how we felt when doing it. This helped us think about the adaptations we could make to the school, to make it easier and comfortable for visitors.

Visit from Dr Simon Nightingale

Yesterday afternoon Oak class welcomed Dr Simon Nightingale, a member of the Humanist Society, to Bicton. He very kindly came to talk to us about Humanism, to support our RE question- What matters most to Humanists and Christians?
He explained how Humanists know about the world and how they know what is right and wrong.
The children then had the opportunity to ask him questions to deepen their understanding of Humanism.

Whole school worship by Worship Council

Very well done to Worship Council for planning and leading a whole school worship. They told the story of ‘Daniel and the Lion’s Den’ and clearly explained how Daniel’s story demonstrates our school value- perseverance.

Skipping workshop

Oak class participated in the whole school skipping workshop where we were taught skipping techniques and rhymes.
It took a lot of perseverance to complete a long rope rhyme but it was great fun!
Hopefully the children will enjoy putting their new skipping skills into practice on the playground.
