Junior School From A to B Mr Thomas Waldron, IPC Coordinator and Year 1 IPC Teacher The Year One students hosted their next IPC Exit Point last Friday to showcase their learning around the topic ‘Transport’. They were able to reenact a Science activity by getting their parents to take part in a Paper Aeroplane Challenge. First of all the, students helped their parents to create the super paper aeroplane. Then the parents were ready to take part in three challenges - Loop the Hoop, Perfect Landing and Furthest Distance. Students worked together to explain, demonstrate and record the challenges to make sure parents knew exactly what to do. Everyone had a lot of fun; a lot of aeroplane records were broken! Well done, parents. The students were also able to present and discuss their learning from the rest of the ‘From A to B’ unit of learning. They did this through a whole-class presentation, first explaining and showing what they had learned in Geography, Society, International, History and Technology. They were then able discuss this learning in more detail with their parents whilst looking through their Science and IPC books and IPC Self-Assessment folder. I think the students can say that they definitely moved ‘from A to B’ in their learning!   4
