Lockdown Learning 2020
Over the last few months learning has been very different for all our students. Some pupils have been home learning and others have still been attending school as children of keyworkers. The pupils adapted as did the staff and there has been lots of interesting lessons go on. Including:
3D shapes
Art in the style of Andy Warhol, Andy Goldsworthy, Monet and Peter Thorpe
Science experiments
Mini sports day
Joe Wicks workout
Pond clearing
Outdoor learning
Marble run challenge
Clay tile sculptures
Baking
Needlework
Optical Art and many more interesting lessons.
The children were also being set work online and it has been lovely seeing how they have been learning at home.
You can see just a small selection in the film below.
