Some initial relections on being resourceful.
I have been resourceful by looking back at the work ive done. ive spoken to my
friends to be resourceful. I have asked questions and watched a helpful video.
I have been resourceful by asking sir question, watching videos and working in a team.
It is important to think abbout things more than once because if you only think about it once you may have thought wrong.
I was being resourceful when we where we highlighted and working as a team.

I can offer..
Students were asked to note down two strengths they could offer the group during this project. They then asked a trusted freind to suggest a third. If they suggested a one they themselves had thought of they circled it, as a super strength. If it was something new they added it to their list. The list of "offers" is now on display.

About the project
Following the students success in the Illuminated Texts
project during term one, we are happy to announce the next project which will
run within Science and Learning to Learn lessons.
The project is called Educate A Town ( E.A.T ) project, and
the students will be challenged to write a book to promote healthy eating to
our community. The students will learn about the structure and function of the
digestive system, the components of a balanced diet, the role each nutrient
plays in the body. The students will also develop their collaboration, communication
and creative skills as well as practicing the scientific skills of analysis,
working in a laboratory and writing like a scientist.
We are most grateful to a whole host of volunteers who have
offered to be profiled in the book. Each volunteer has been selected as they
have a unique view of diet whether it be from a medical, athletic or particular
health need. Each volunteer has selected
6 items of food they would place in a healthy shopping basket, the students
will then proceed to analyse the nutrients and write scientifically about their
findings. We have also been lucky to involve a team of research scientists from
Newcastle University’s Human Nutrition Research Centre who will help launch the
project, answer student questions and act as experts during critique of student
work. We are therefore hopefully that we will be able to publish a high quality
book for sale by the end of this term.
An exhibition will be hosted to allow the students to share
their experiences and promote their book and healthy diets to our community.
