Weekly Update 23.7.21

Hello everyone,
The children were given a homework project which revolved around them choosing any person of their choice that inspires them. They had six weeks to create their projects and they were given complete creative freedom as to how they presented them. Some children presented them in booklets, some presented them as videos and some presented them as PowerPoint presentations. Each child presented them to the rest of the class, telling the class why they were inspired by their chosen person and to read a few facts about that person. Every single child produced a project and they presented them really well. Whilst some children were a little nervous at first, it was definitely great for their presenting skills and for their confidence and I'm very proud that all the class were very supportive of each other. Well done everyone, I really enjoyed finding out about who inspires you!
This week the children had an outdoor history lesson. They became history detectives and together in their groups they had to analyse a range of replica artefacts that have been found at Skara Brae and make inferences about them
After 6-7 weeks of growing them, the children are finally taking their sunflowers home to plant in their own gardens. All of the plants that we planted have grown, with some growing faster than others. Hopefully, within the next week or so, the children will see the flowers fully open up :)
Well done, Willow Tree! You've all been brilliant and resilient during another challenging year! Have a fantastic summer, look after yourselves and stay safe!
Take care,
Mr Kyriacou :)
