Grow a pound
This week our year 5 and 6’s were given the challenge of taking a pound and creating a product for others to buy . All the children have been working throughout the week to design / create their products ready to sell to the rest of the school this Friday. As you can see from the photos, they all worked incredibly hard and would like to thank everyone for all their support. We will let you know how much they raised when it has all been counted.
Empathy Day
The children at Stanmore School celebrated EMPATHY day through a variety of exciting activities.
Empathy is the ability to feel and understand other people’s emotions and perspective. Almost like you are stepping into their shoes. At the current time we have never needed empathy more than ever.
The children learnt that empathy can be learnt, reading is a key tool to building the emotional literacy of children and young people, by identifying with book characters, we can all learn to see the world from other points of view.
The children wore their empathy glasses to find shoes hidden in the school grounds with clues to characters they have encountered in the books they have read this year.
They also drew kindness monsters and made empathy resolutions.
Year 1 and 2
This week we began a new topic called "Gone for Good," and as part of it we went on an archaeological dig! The children were equipped with tools and spent some time discovering some lost artefacts. They made links between them and predicted what they might be. The children thought about what makes something a historical discovery or not and we are looking forward to exploring the mystery of history throughout this topic.
