How we learn - Part 2

This week we have continued to work through our ‘how we learn’ sessions. Today the children engaged in an exciting (and very messy) partner task. 

One student had to sit facing forward with their arms behind their back and the other crouched behind them with their arms through to the front to provide the arms for the other student. The task was to give a live demonstration of how to make a jam sandwich (tv cooking show style!) 🥪

Once the children had each had a go at the task (and cleaned up all the jam!) we discussed which of the 4 Rs we had used. The children recognised that they had been working in a reciprocal way using their collaborative skills!

Enjoying a welcome snack break, we listened and watched out for curlews, skylarks, blackbirds, buzzards and crickets.  We spotted many wild flowers too.

Adventurous activity 1: Let's try abseiling

Image
For our first activity, we headed back towards Taddington and the Monsal Trail at Millers Dale - familiar territory for us. We exchanged tales of walking, cycling and pony rides down the trail.  None of us have abseiled before, so we're not quite sure what to expect. We listened carefully before getting our harnesses on.  The instructor checked we were all safely buckled up and ready to go. Hmm...some slightly worried looks.  Here we go. Who's brave enough to go first? The bridge over the River Wye is 80 feet high and the first challenge is to climb over the railings.  We did it!  Now we can relax.
