Wild Writing

A Padlet produced by Helen Caldwell as part of the DLAB Erasmus project. Ideas for Wild Writing.
On Tuesday, Mr. Parkinson will be leading a CPD session for all Y1-6 staff on ideas for Outdoor Learning.

Big Outdoors Day

We are now featured on the schools' website, and there's also a brief feature (using the same press release) in the Ely News.

Big Outdoors Day Passports

Don't forget to hand in your Big Outdoors Passport to Miss Furness or Mr. Parkinson, or your form tutors... There are prizes for each age group for the ones that are completed the best.
I loved this front cover from one of the passports - really interesting idea...

Big Outdoors Day

We hope you enjoyed the day, and the Crafty Explorer-style monsters you created where great. I love my new minion on my computer screen.

Can we remind you that the passports you were given have a competition linked to them.
There are some great outdoors related prizes that you can win, if you are crafty and add some additional elements to the passports, such as great comments and reviews of the sessions, photographs and other things. There are rucksacks, water bottles, lights and various other prizes to be won in different year groups.

Passports can be handed in in the first week back after half term.
There will be some more photos and feedback on the BIG OUTDOORS DAY page of Firefly.
