Children at Manor Park have given their own direction to learning this term, through ‘Wow Days’ and ‘Hot Questions’.
In Key Stage One, Year One had a visit from a mysterious giant who left clues as to his identity. This was used as a stimulus to start the topic ‘Marvellous Me.’ Later this term Reception are planning WOW sessions to begin their topic ‘If you go down to the woods today,’ which include a visit to the woods and a visit to school by some owls.
In Year Two the children enjoyed starting their first mini topic ‘Toy Story’ by bringing in toys that were special to them and using them to generate their own questions. In the next few weeks we are looking forward to starting this terms main topic ‘Adventures on the High Seas’. This will be launched with our ‘WOW Day’, where the children will come to school dressed as pirates for a day of pirate fun!
In Years Three and Four, the hall became a place for inspiration and enthusiasm, as they examined Celtic artefacts, photographs, representations and a short film clip about Maiden Castle and Chesil Beach. Having been trained in the art of asking ‘hot questions’, they thought showered all of the questions about Celts and Maiden Castle they wanted answers to.
The questions have given a great basis for cross-curricular planning and the children have responded brilliantly!
Manor Park would like to say ‘Thank you’ to Prince of Wales for allowing us to visit their roundhouse and enabling us to answer some of the many questions posed.
‘Wow’ Days get the year off to a great start…
