Disconnect to reconnect Day!
Today we decided to switch off all our electrical devices in school and spend the day reconnecting with each other, without the need for electricity! This was a day to think about saving energy and helping our planet.
we started the day by classes becoming reading buddies across school and supporting each other with reading.
Break time involved classes playing together from different Key Stages!
Lunch time involved classes having grab bags outside as no electrical equipment could be used in the kitchen. We had grab bags and ate outside with our friends.
During the afternoon we all joined together and made a whole school chain to show us all reconnecting to each other!
Year 2 in Southport!
Today we went to Southport as part of our Geography topic. We were comparing Southport to Everton and observing all of the physical and human features of the seaside!
