What Angles Can You See In Our Dance?
Philosophy - What is it?
Philosophy!
Excitingly, Swift class have had their first Philosophy lesson with Alfie from Bristol University. We will be having Philosophy lessons every Wednesday afternoons.
Well what is Philosophy? So that we could begin to understand what Philosophy is, we asked Alfie some questions. Next, he gave us a set of questions; in groups we collaborated to sort them into piles. Questions which we thought were not Philosophical (they had an answer) and questions which we thought were Philosophical.
After a lot of discussion and debating, these were some examples we agreed were Philosophical:
If a tree fell down in a forest and made a sound, would there be a sound if no one was there to hear it?
Do we dream only in our sleep?
Why can’t a stick be a sword?

The Great Hannah More Soup Off!
Back in Spring every class planned a soup! They decided on ingredients and planted them in our raised beds. This week we had the great soup competition - we called it a "Soup Off!", Classes harvested the vegetables, peeled, chopped and sliced them and made big bowls of soup! Trevor and Mr Webster were the judges - taking tiny tastes of all the delicious soup! Enormous crocodile class won the Soup Off with their tompato, peper and carrot soup.
