Wild Flower Walk. We took our assembly outside again this week, enjoying a shared experience and celebrating what a wonderful area we have access to. We walked to Wick Woodland, checking a wild flower checklist as we went. We spotted most British wild flowers that were expected in Spring. Year 6 had a Summer wild flowers checklist and most of their flowers had not yet bloomed. Well done years 1-6. #outdoorlearning #keepgreen

Year 6 worked through the 100 climate actions from @ling.tan.ql low carbon banquet. They chose some that we are going to to work on as a school and presented a very persuasive argument to our art teacher, food educator and headteacher about how we as a school can take more actions to tackle climate change. Watch this space! #keepgreen

Year 6 visited the Low Carbon Banquet exhibited at the Hackney Service Centre this week. The banquet has been designed by artist @ling.tan.ql to raise awareness of the carbon our food uses and how we can reduce that. The children in year 5 and 6 have grown, prepared and eaten food at Gainsborough and their photos, videos and climate actions are part of the installation. Thank you @ling.tan.ql for this opportunity, many low carbon meals will now follow! #keepgreen #keephealthy #keepconnected

Year 6 visited Hackney Chambers to support their learning about how governments work. They saw the chambers in action, holding a live session. They considered how decisions were made in the chambers and the importance of the Speaker’s role. Who do you think could be the next Mayor of Hackney? #keepconnected

Goodbye My Friend, told by Year 6 Magpies, was a triumph. Incredible acting, goose bump inducing singing and on point casting. Well done Year 6 team, you made us laugh and cry. What a special group you are. Wishing you all the luck, and sending you off with all the love, for the next stage in your journey. Goodbye our friends - year 6 Magpies.
