This week has been Me and My Community Week at Moortown. We have had lots of visitors from our local community come to school to talk about themselves and how they make up part of the community. We have also spoken about what communities we are part of, culminating in a fabulous identity day on Friday.
We talked to Grandad Wheels about life in a wheelchair and we heard him read one of his fabulous stories. We even got to design a futuristic wheelchair for him!
We visited Moortown Park with Pat who runs Friends of Moortown Park. We learnt about how they look after the park and we thought carefully about how we could look after the park too.
We also had a visit from the RNIB. We listened very carefully and learnt lots about things that help people who are blind. We even got to meet a guide dog.
We also had a visit from Mrs Gledhill who is a teacher of the deaf. She taught us some things we can do to help people who are deaf to hear us. She then taught us some sign language, we loved it!
All week we were also thinking about what makes us unique and celebrating the differences we all have, whether that is the way we look, what we like to do or our families. We read the book Odd Dog Out to help us understand this further. We even made our very own sausage dogs that reflected our personality!
What a week it has been! Well done everyone!
