The Education Directorate are keen to capture the voice of young people to describe their experiences during lockdown. It will also help guide the thinking towards a recovery model from September. We would be grateful if pupils could complete this and if they wish add their names.
School Council are leading the way in making Red Gates greener and more environmentally friendly. On World Environment Day, they've checked the school grounds for any rubbish, especially plastic. You may not realise it, but we do get occasional visits from wildlife like squirrels and birds here at Red Gates.
We know that plastic can kill them as it does with the whales in the ocean. That's why we are keen to keep the school free of any plastic rubbish. This term, some classes are actually working on the topic Hidden Worlds: Under the Sea and are learning about the beauty of the sea and how our attitude towards waste can harm living creatures and destroy that beauty.
Each year the school joins in with British Science Week. Its a celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths across the UK for people of all ages. It requires our amazing teachers to come up with entertaining and engaging events and activities for our children to watch and participate in. To celebrate the end of science week we had a bouncy castle. As you can see from the smiles and laughs it was a great success across the school.
