Entrepreneurial Curriculum

 

To us, it means child-led learning showcases - where children are proud and confident to share their learning. Although recent events have stopped us sharing our wonderful learning, we can't wait to start to share the learning with our adults again and this is best demonstrated by our 2019 Expo... 

Expo - Summer 2019

The Featherby Schools held the first Maritime EXPO on Friday 5th July 2019. The theme 'Inventions to Save the World' was shared across all Maritime Schools from Nursery children to Year 6.  The Expo showcased the creativity and collaboration between children and schools to design inventions that would protect the planet. To see the high quality designs through to prototypes on display and to hear the children share their design processes and ideas was fantastic.

Parents, children, staff and directors from across the Maritime Trust shared an experience that showcased the depth of knowledge children acquired, the key life and functional skills developed through the curriculum and the collaboration of creativity! It was a pleasure to host the first Maritime Expo and to share the enjoyment with all who attended and with those who dropped in via Google Hangout and watched the Expo live from their home schools!

The positive feedback from all those who attended is something we are very proud of!
