🥕 Eagles Class Create Interactive Geography Posters! 🌍
This week, Eagles Class truly embodied our school vision to Love, Learn, Shine, bringing their geography learning to life through the creation of interactive, multisensory posters. The children used flaps, wheels, lift-the-tabs, textures and other tactile features to design posters that were not only informative but also exciting and engaging to explore.
As part of our topic on food waste, the children were surprised to learn just how much perfectly edible food is thrown away each year. One fact that really caught their attention was the idea of “wonky veg” — fruit and vegetables that taste just as good as their supermarket-perfect counterparts but are often rejected simply for being the “wrong” shape, size, or colour. This sparked thoughtful discussions about sustainability, fairness, and how even small choices can help care for our world.
Mrs Williams shared her pride in the children’s thoughtful work, saying:
“The creativity and care the children showed were wonderful. They were genuinely shocked by the idea of food being wasted for looking a bit different — and passionate about what we can all do to help.”
To support their learning, children also explored resources such as this helpful

We are incredibly proud of the enthusiasm they brought to this project and the way they continue to shine as thoughtful, responsible global citizens.
