This year we are trying to achieve Gold status in the Wild Challenge provided by the RSPB. This showcases the enhanced activities we do at Mortimer as part of our Science curriculum. Mrs Mackay wants the whole school to be involved so over the course of this academic year each class will complete at least one activity in school which will contribute towards achieving the top award.
Already this year we have completed Kennings in Year 4, Reception have kept a watch on the weather, Year 5 have dissected flower heads and presented their findings as a display and we have had another big tree plant on the turning circle to name a few.
Many more activities are planned for the next two terms but this term we are proud to say that we have submitted enough activities to hopefully be awarded a bronze certificate. Our entries are currently being checked by the RSPB but Mrs Mackay is confident we will be successful.
