Our brand new learning council were so lucky this week to receive a visit from acting Mayor Bramble as part of Democracy Week. She explained how she got into the role and what is important to her. She answered all the questions the learning council had from what makes her most proud about Hackney to who is her favourite footballer! The learning council are inspired for a year of student advocacy at Shacklewell.
4S have had a great end to a busy half term! They have been fantastic geographers on their two fieldtrips, investigating the noise pollution in Hackney. They have been amazing scientists whilst investigating states of matter. They were able to investigate melting point and freezing point in our hands on experiments. They have also shown their creativity in our art lessons in preparation for our whole year display, it was great to see how excited they were to express themselves with their own portrait. To celebrate all of their hard work they will be having a cinema afternoon as a treat. Well done year 4!
Year 3 took part in a sports event promoting sport across Hackney. Children took part in events such a fencing and wheel chair basketball, competing against children from across Hackney.
New class pet and publishing our writing.
1W had a great time on their trip to Hackney Downs Park.
6S have kick started their journey as budding geographers, with a trip to the Greenwich Meridian. The enrichment allowed for children to explore the imaginary line that is the basis for the world's time zones.
Is it a soluble or insoluble material?
4W enjoyed a sunny walking tour of Dalston this morning to measure the noise pollution in our local area! We have been learning all about noise pollution in our Geography topic, Map It, and how human and physical features can affect it. We think Dalston will have a much higher noise pollution level than Springfield Park. What do you think?
A busy week of collaboration, getting active and a new class pet for 2S
