Wakehurst Place Trip

Friday 1st March 2013

Year 6 enjoyed their trip to Wakehurst Place in West Sussex. We disected flowers, went on a learning walk and visited the Kew Millennium Seed Bank. We learnt about the important and difficult task the Seed Bank has, cataloging and preserving seeds of endangered plant species.

We also learnt about the process of pollinationa and what a terrible place the world would be without plants (and bees).

Take Over Day

Friday 15th February 2013

Today Year 6 got to experience a taste of life as a teacher. They were put into pairs and assigned a year group. They then planned and delivered some fantastic lessons (while Mr Pavey became the house captains, collecting the merits).

The Year 6s also speant time marking the work their pupils had produced, providing them with feedback and a few merits here and there.

Oliver also got to experience a snippet of Mrs Lovatt-Young's work by working closely with her, observing lessons and scrutinising books. In the afternoon he also delivered a fantastic celebration assembly.

A few interesting quotes I heard. "Oh this is hard work, how do teachers do this 5 times a day, 5 days a week?" and the interesting "Marking's fun!"
