Fairtrade Fortnight

 in Bowfell / Scafell / Skiddaw / Whole School by

Eco Team helped Levens CE School support Fairtrade Fortnight by running a stall selling lots of Fairtrade goods today. There was a massive range of products from chocolate and sugar, bracelets and cutlery – something for everyone’s budget! Thank you to everyone for contributing to our success as we raised £140.40.

Fairtrade goods are ones where the farmers and producers are guaranteed to get a fair price for their products. Look out for the Fairtrade symbol on products in the shops.

 

What a lovely way to end the week!

The chatter coming from Bowfell classroom this afternoon was surprisingly calm and relaxed! This was down to the lovely reading happening, in pairs, with children from Scafell class. They all cosied up in a space, chose a book and enjoyed the simple pleasure of sharing a story. Bliss!

Forest Schools

 in Bowfell by

We had our first visit to the forest this week. We all found our walking legs to get up the big hill, keeping ourselves safe and listening to instructions.

Once we were in the forest we had to listen carefully to lots of new rules. Our boundary had been marked out with red and white tape and we used elephant footsteps to walk, making sure that we didnt trip up.

Our next task was to find a partner and take a hoop. We had to find a spot of the forest floor and look closely inside the hoop to see if we could find anything interesting. To start with there was just leaves but when we moved the leaves away. all sorts of things crawled out!

We had a fantastic time and can’t wait for our next visit!
