Learning through experiences

Rowan

This week Rowan class has their fire safety talk with the Hampshire Fire services. They learnt what the fire service does and how they can stay safe at home. They learnt about the importance of testing their smoke detectors once a week and how to make a 999-phone call. One of the children also got the opportunity to dress up as a firefighter and race me in getting the suit on in less than 1 minute. It was a brilliant and valuable talk and the children really enjoyed the opportunity. 

Sycamore

Sycamore are very privileged to be enjoying the first Forest School sessions this year. They had a great time, making badges and dens and enjoying all of the brand new equipment that was funded by Friends of Stanmore! Thank you - I think you can tell from the photos that they enjoyed themselves! 

Elm

This week year 6 have been fortunate enough to visit Winchester College twice as part of our Stanmore enrichment curriculum. Our first visit showed us how a heart worked and we got to see a  heart dissection. It was fascinating to see how the diagrams translate to real life. Our second session was to listen to the annual Primary Schools Wildlife Talk. This year we learnt all about elephants and projects around the world that are helping to limit the poaching of these beautiful creatures and also promoting female rangers in Africa.
