On Friday children and staff in the Junior School thoroughly enjoyed a Power Hour event, where staff led a range of activities that they are passionate about to inspire the children and enhance their love of learning.
- Around the world in 60 Minutes with Ellie
- Funky Interiors with Marcia
- Fun, Food and Fitness with Chloe & Anita
- Checkmate Chess Challenge with Carly
- Stage Costume Design with Bryan
- Planning an Eco Birthday Party with Lydia
- Comic Workshop with Jim
- World of Wool (and Pom Poms) with Gemma
- Colourful Cross Stitch with Louise
- Football Refereeing with Lyn and Katie
Some of the children’s comments included:
‘I didn’t realise how hard it was to be a Referee!’
‘It was fun making the energy balls’
‘There won’t be any wastage from our eco-birthday party for Teddy’
‘We looked carefully at the materials to see how they moved before we did our designs’
‘My design was inspired by autumn’
‘We learnt a lot about chess!’
‘In my Around the World in 60 minutes workshop I wanted to go to Calgary and Canada because I was born there.’
‘I learnt to do lots of different stitches’
Due to its success we are already considering a child led Power Hour to give children the opportunity to share interests they love.
