Discovery Week at Manford

The week of the 22nd of March was Discovery week at Manford.

We decided to take this opportunity to allow the children to revise their knowledge of Science and develop their thinking and team working skills. We gave the children a scenario; Imagine you are travelling on an aeroplane when suddenly, your plane crashes. You try to swim to safety and find yourself stranded on a desert island.

The children needed to work together to solve a variety of problems while staying on the island.

The problems included: Building a bridge to cross the raging waters, Building a tall structure to pick the fruit from the trees, Make a boat strong enough to carry one person and nice water pots.

The children had great fun and have even asked if they can do it again!

Life Exhibition at St Paul's Church

On Thursday, 11th of March 2010, Year 6 went to St Paul's Church in Hainault for a Life Exhibition.

The children learnt about the birth and death of Jesus and stories from the Bible. They also had to answer questions using a PDA, which all the children enjoyed using.

All children found it very interesting and most enjoyable.

Day 2 of the Art Workshop

Day 2 - Today the children were able to help Sharon continue working on the sculpture and making their own little masks. Once again the children enjoyed and are very excited to see the finished product on display in the school.
