Nant BH 2024 Year 5 and 6, by Mrs Brown
Date: 21st Apr 2024 @ 6:58pm
Another fantastic residential at Nant BH this year - the children were amazing, meeting the challenges to meet the overall aims of developing a bit of G.R.I.T.
Growth (mindset) - can do attitude - effort
Resilience - you're on your own, long activities, tiring, physically demanding, sharing effort.
Independence and Interactions - speaking and listening, encouraging/ supporting others, listening and aksing if unsure, following instructions and directions to stay safe
Teamwork - Lots of opportunity for Teamwork e.g. organisation in the dinning room, duty groups, activity groups, dormitory groups, activity groups etc.
Plus consideration/respect - looking after things, thinking about others
We hope families enjoy the pictures and videos as much as we enjoyed watching the development of the children we took this year.
Under the Ocean, by Mrs Quirk
Date: 19th Apr 2024 @ 5:03pm
Our new topic for the Summer term is “Under the Ocean” 🐠 🌊🐙🐳
We enjoyed a painting activity based on the colours of the Ocean. We noticed that there were many shades of blue and some white in the waves so, we set about creating the colours for our paintings. Mrs Quirk only shared two colours with us, dark blue and white, but we needed light blues too!!
We discovered that if we added white to the blue, it made it lighter.....problem solved!!
We had so much fun exploring and creating new shades of blue.
