Walnut Class

Welcome to Walnut class, where learning comes to life through personal projects.

In Walnut class we understand that each student is unique, with individual talents, interests and learning styles. By embracing personal projects we provide a platform for students to take ownership of their education developing creativity, critical thinking and collaboration.

During our Personal Projects we research areas of interest to pupils, deciding what we want to learn and take part in trips based on our topics.

Here are some examples of what our students have chosen for their personal projects:

Learning about seals. Different types of seals, what they eat, where they live. To finish this learning we will go to an Aquarium in Weymouth. Also we are learning to sew and have started a project to create a seal teddy.

Learning about dogs. Different breeds, jobs that they do, how to take care of them.

Sports like football or golf, learning about the game and type of diet a professional golfer or footballer should follow. We tried to make some recipes that a football or a golfer should eat to get their required nutrients.
