Genius Hour
We are very proud of our Year 2 pupils on the Oldford Site who decided that they wanted to raise money to send to Australia to support families affected by the recent fires. Through their Genius Hour project, the children organised a tombola stall and a movie event. In order to do this successfully, they had to use their skills of organisation, creativity and leadership. The events were well planned, exciting and fun! They all showed enthusiasm, confidence and teamwork—raising a grand total of £106.15
Rev. Steve congratulated the main organisers of the events. These learning experiences allow our pupils to become ambitious capable learners, enterprising effective contributors to the world around them, healthy confident individuals and ethical informed citizens of the future. These are all requirements of the new Welsh curriculum.
Our topic this term is 'Fire and Ice' and the children had to work with a partner to discuss a project for 'Genius Hour'. A group of children wanted to make snow globes, some wanted to make igloos, other children wanted to base their project on fire.
