Class 3 Careers Talk 12.03.19

13th March 2019 By Liz Sturrock

On Tuesday 12th March,  Class 3 had another brilliant careers talk.  This time we had a visit from Charlotte Tudor and her colleague Caroline.  They are Ecologists.  The children had no understanding of what this entailed so it was a great learning experience for them.

Charlotte and Caroline explained to the children all about their job and discussed the different skills and qualifications they have.  They brought along a bat for the children to see – Poppy- who is a rescue bat and unfortunately due to injury now needs to be cared for by an adult (who is trained and qualified to do so).

The children were also given the opportunity to explore the delights of the inside of an owl pellet so basically everything that an owl cannot digest forms a tight pellet and is later spat up by the owl.  The children thought this was amazing finding all sort of skulls and bones!  Thank you very much for another great afternoon from Class 3.

Hate Crime Workshop

27th February 2019 By Liz Sturrock

Today Class 3 had a visit from PCSO’s Ian and Faye to discuss the issues surrounding ‘Hate Crime’. We talked about what a hate crime is, how offenders are punished and how the victim would feel. We looked at some local incidents and decided upon the action we would take if we became victim to a hate crime. Although this was a very serious topic, the children were very mature and all shared the same idea that crimes like this were unfair.

Class 3 Career Talk

11th February 2019 By Liz Sturrock

Today we had a visit from Claire King and Lorraine Carline to talk about their careers.  Claire works at a veterinary practice and kindly brought along one of the vets into school to talk to us.  Lorraine is a nurse on a children’s ward at one of our local hospitals.  It was so interesting, they talked to us about their career paths and the qualifications they gained.  They explained what they do on a daily basis and then let us use some of their equipment.  Class 3 would like to say a huge thank you for giving us your time.

International School Award

11th December 2018 By Liz Sturrock

We were delighted to learn that we’ve been awarded the British Council’s prestigious International School Award for working to bring the world into the classroom.

The International School Award celebrates the achievements of schools that do exceptional work in international education. Fostering an international dimension in the curriculum is at the heart of the British Council’s work with schools so that young people gain the cultural understanding and skills they need for life and work.

Our international work includes corresponding with Pen Pals in Giessen, Germany, exchanging decorations and gifts with 24 schools in 19 European countries and exchanging special Christmas Boxes with our partner school in Germany.

Mr. Brown visited the Houses of Parliament last week to collect the award on behalf of the school. He enjoyed the opportunity to talk with John Baron MP and Sir Ciarán Devane, Chief Executive of the British Council.

Our special thanks must go to Michele Thorns and Marion Cleland from the International Office who have been instrumental in setting up our international links and providing us with opportunities to visit our PenPals in Germany

Sir Ciarán Devane, Chief Executive of the British Council, said: “Ramshaw has brought the world into its classrooms, earning them the British Council International School Award. Their pupils’ education is enriched with international activities that help children develop the skills they need to thrive in a globalised world.”

The award is sought after worldwide by schools from countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Cyprus, and Pakistan. Around 5,500 International School Awards have been presented to successful schools in the UK since the British Council scheme began in 1999.
