The students painting their beads for the abacuses they started last week. Step one was making 27 balls as their 100s, 10's & units - a great opportunity for cross-curricular work-topic, mathematics and D&T #mathisfun #Maths2020 #technology #creativelearning #bournemouth #Dorset

We keep stretching the children here at @STGSchoolDorset and they love it too - especially in Maths! #maths #Maths2020 #independentschool #WednesdayMotivation #WednesdayWisdom #Dorset #bournemouth

We encouraged our pupils to create their own costumes by up-cycling old clothes and using everyday items to make something unique and original. If only we all thought this way.... #waronplastic #plasticpollution #plasticfree #halloween2019 #halloweencostume

Activist Greta Thunberg has turned down a major environmental prize. "It is a huge honor," she said. "But the climate movement does not need any more awards. What we need is for our politicians…to start listening to the current, best available science." n.pr/31ZmS6H

@HughFW Have you got any tips for our inspiring Year 6 pupil?

@sascampaigns One of our Year6 pupils has started a “Plastic Free School” campaign - she's giving info to the children & asking them to sign up to form a “Trash Mob” to reduce single use plastic & achieve Plastic Free School status. #plasticfreecoastlines #plasticfreecommunities
