Food glorious food...

Wow! 2012 has arrived with a flurry of activity for every class at Milbourne Lodge. 

During their Art lessons pupils are continuing to plan the next stage of the Centenary Garden  - they will take part in a series of willow workshops shortly after half-term to create items for  their Sculpture Garden. Pupils have already spent the first few weeks of term planning these sculptures and designs on paper.  They are really enthusiastic and excited about the prospect of a two day  workshop - which will involve all the classes in the main school.

We're still awaiting the arrival of the remaining Coca Cola bottles so that we may continue to build the eco greenhouse - using a total of 2012 empty bottles. 


Meanwhile, during ICT lessons we have been focusing on healthy living : it's all part of our forthcoming submission to the UK wide  Make IT Healthy competition.

We've investigated food groups, and the 'Eat Well Plate ' and pupils in Forms 1R and 1S used some basic Photoshop tools  (and some Googly Eyes) to create 'friendly' fruit and vegetables.

I was really  impressed by their interest in many different types of fruits and vegetables.








Forms 2K and 2S looked closely at food labelling and the 'traffic light system' as well as creating anamorphic images using basic healthy foods as their theme.  

Morgan McLucas created a table to show the breakdown of  1L of Milk, and Leo Mills analysed the labelling on a Yoghurt pot. 




Form 3 also focused on the five main food groups - creating a series of 'Bingo Cards' using these food groups. 

Sleep Diary by Aneirin

4a and 4b carefully noted their own sleep patterns, by keeping a 'Sleep Diary' for a full week. They created the diaries as tables in Word.  They then took the raw data and in Excel put together some simple formulae and graphs to show their combined hours of sleep throughout the week. They noted average hours slept as well as working out maximum and minimum totals.  


Finally, they brought all their work together  as a series of  Powerpoint presentationa focusing on how awesome and important sleep is. 




More to follow... So much work has been created  that there simply isn't room to showcase all the projects at once.  I know many pupils are looking forward to seeing their own work online - so will post another blog update for the half-term break tomorrow (Friday)
