Robinwood Update Day 2
admin on: Class 6
Another busy day at Robinwood! Each child has been amazing in their own way and challenged themselves more than they ever have.
Today some children have had a go at the trapeze, worked as a team in nightline and solved some puzzles in the dungeon. Other children have had a go at climbing, quest and raft building. We also had a special guest appearance from Miss Kelly who tried the trapeze herself (she didn’t really have a choice!).
All is very quiet in the boys’ block as I am writing this blog. Something tells me they will sleep very well tonight!
We will be up and ready to do some more activities tomorrow morning, before having some lunch and heading back. I will send an alert out on the jotter app when I know roughly what time we are due back.
See you tomorrow!

Robinwood - day one

Hello! Hopefully this blog will post, the WiFi isn’t brilliant!
We’ve had a fabulous first day at Robinwood.
We’ve all had a go on the zip line. I can speak for my group and say that they all had fun! Miss Hewitt and Ms. Kewley agreed that their groups did too.
Some of the groups have done the piranha pool, whilst one group did some climbing and canoeing.
The children are all in bed now and had the lights out notice from the night staff. Hopefully we’ve worn them out enough that they get a good night’s sleep!
Photos will be uploaded onto the blog when I return to school. In the meantime, keep checking the blog for further updates.

This week we have completed some practice SATs. I was really impressed with the children's attitude to them; I wouldn't say they were looking forward to them, but they accepted it was a necessary task and did their best.
In topic, we have been looking at art inspired by conflict and looked at some trench art from the First World War.
Every week (when possible) Miss Monday is taking different groups of children to complete some outdoor learning linked to our topic. They are currently working on building a shelter that might've been used during the Second World War. Here are some pictures of this week's group:
Remember, the blog will have a nightly update next week whilst we're at Robinwood, so make sure you check it!
Have a lovely weekend!

This week, we have written a newspaper report about the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in English. This was in preparation for our history lessons moving onto the First World War. Today, the children learnt how to be historians by using sources to deduce what life was like in the trenches on the Western Front. We will be continuing this next week.
Also today, we have celebrated #HelloYellow World Mental Health. We have had a bit of fun, taking part in a quiz (which Ms. Kewley won!) and discussed the importance of talking about mental health. We also used the #HelloYellow photo booth props to take some silly photographs and hopefully raise some awareness of the importance of looking after our mental health.
Here are some of the photos:

October already! Robinwood is fast approaching! The blog will be the place to check each night they are away for updates on how they are all doing. Also, it has come to my attention that my Robinwood meeting recording from the meeting a couple of weeks ago has expired! So the link doesn't appear to work anymore. If anyone missed the meeting, please drop me an email if you have any questions and I will ring you.
This week we have continued our topic of light in science by looking at the size of shadows at various positions from the light source. In maths, we have finally got onto the 'dreaded long division', which turned out to not be so dreaded at all! Everyone had a good go and we will be continuing this next week.
In history, we have looked at wars the UK have been involved in since 1707 and worked out which century was the most 'war-filled'. We have then discussed and suggested reasons for there being more wars in one century than another. Here are some examples of their work.
Have a lovely weekend!
