Year 4 pupils recently took on a Real LiFE mission to become conservationists. 

The children visited the forest school area to find out the school grounds’ habitat. Year 4 also worked with Earthwatch to plant over 600 trees and shrubs which will create a tiny forest within our school grounds.

Our Real LiFE Missions link children’s learning across the curriculum and in Year 4 Design and Technology, the children have enjoyed designing and building bug hotels in their mini-crews. They had to use many of the REACH-IT attributes in order to successfully achieve the goal together.

The Year 4 pupils brought their computer learning to LiFE by creating Blogs about their Real LiFE Mission. A blog, short for weblog, is a frequently updated web page used for personal commentary or business content.

Our Real LiFE Conservationist Mission has allowed Year 4 children to become advocates for the protection of our local habitats by all taking part in a showcase event where the children shared their learning with their parents/carers.

When the parents of Year 4 came to the showcase event, they were impressed by the children’s passion about being conservationists and protecting local habitats.
