Thursday 18 July 2024 Our Creative Harmony Curriculum Comes to Life! Over the past two years, staff at Symondsbury School have been busy developing an exciting, creative, nature based curriculum that works alongside our school vision of ‘You, Me, Us and Everyone – We are a school that believe we have the power to change the world’. The golden thread of ‘Legacy’ runs through our curriculum which provides the children with rich and varied learning, encourages them to ask enquiring questions and develops the knowledge and skills that they need for the future. This week the children have been busy with Mrs Edney as they have created art work to represent their learning journey at Symondsbury School. The finished product will be revealed in September as we embed our curriculum and continue to build on it but here are a few pieces that the children created.

Tuesday 16 July 2024 Class 4 Love the Verge - WINNERS At the start of the year, we wrote letters to the council about the importance of supporting bees by creating habitats for them. Using land on verges and roundabouts and wasteland. We had a reply from the councillor that we wrote to, Giles Nicholson, and he sent in his Greenspaces team to talk to us in late May. As part of the visit, the team asked the children to create a poster about supporting bees. We created our visions, and they were judged by the Greenspace team. Today the results were announced. Congratulations to Rosa, Erin and Violet! Katie Dawes, Senior Communications Officer at Dorset Council, said ‘We are planning on displaying all the posters in the reception area of County Hall in August (5th to 17th).’ Thanks again to all the children for their fantastic entries, we were all very impressed with their creative skills and enthusiasm for wildlife-friendly practices. Kind regards, Katie
