Work in progress - Windows project

A selection of our Manor Way Pupil Leader Groups have been coming together this term to work on a joint project at Manor Way site. The issue was first raised by our Junior Leadership Team who expressed concern that many children in classes complained that our old Victorian sash windows are not allowing enough air to ventilate the building. Since receiving the CO2 devices in the Autumn Term, in the wake of the pandemic, the children have been paying more attention to Co2 levels, room temperatures and ventilation in their classes. 

Firstly, the Premises Personnel team met to conduct a window inspection around the main school building.

Next, the Eco Squad class reps (with JLT rep support) helped collect data each day on CO2 levels in their classes. A week later, then met again to validate their daily data findings.

Then the Digital Leaders worked with Mr Tuthill to display the data in a clear and concise way using Excel and creating graphs.

Finally, the JLT team met with Ms Truong to write a persuasive letter to the council for their support in improving our ventilation and refurbishing the old style windows.

Looking after your mental health and wellbeing

To support our mental health and wellbeing, we link with The Children's Health Project, to share ideas of activities that can be done at home.

1)

Below are three BIG questions. You need to choose just ONE of them.

First of all, consider what your answer might be to this BIG question.

Then, ask your friends and family what their opinions are. Gather lots of people's opinions about this BIG question.

Finally, reflect on your own opinion again - have other people's thoughts, changed your opinion?

What's your answer to the BIG question now?

Question 1 - If you were in charge of the country, how would you ensure people felt

well physically and mentally?

Question 2 - If someone is feeling low in energy, and not very happy, what would

you suggest they did over the course of a week to feel better?

Question 3 - What could you do now to help yourself live a healthier and happier life

when you’re 100 years old?
