Saving The Animals Project

16th May 2023Website Admin

In this Project, Year 8 were tasked with answering the big question, ‘How can we increase awareness about animal cruelty?’ This involved them conducting extensive research into the mistreatment of animals and presenting their findings at a symposium on animal cruelty for their peers.

As part of the project the students also developed their graphic design skills on Canva, visited Champions Wharf Play Beach and read extracts from Animal Farm.

Teacher’s Reflections

  • Students were fully captivated by the topic and excited to expand on their knowledge.
  • I am so proud of what Gevurah has accomplished with their analysis of Animal Farm.

Students’ Reflections

I thought the project was very good because the big question is very important to the world.

Journeys Project

16th May 2023Website Admin

In this project, Years 3 and 4 worked on an extended project which explored the themes of journeys. This involved them studying the exhibitions of famous explorers like Ernest Shackleton and journeys to Ancient Egypt.

The students also completed their own ‘sponsored journey’ from the old site of Gesher in Kilburn to our new site in Pinner, for which they were tasked with using as many different types of public transport as possible.

Teacher’s Reflections

  • The students were able to acquire an extensive knowledge about Egypt, including what the country is like now and how that differs from how it was in the past.
  • The project was well-rounded and covered various curriculum areas such as geography, history, art and music.

Students’ Reflections

My favourite part of the project was the transport museum

Graffiti Project

16th May 2023Website Admin

In the project, Year 7 focused on exploring different types of diversity and the promotion of inclusion within our community. Each student was tasked with designing and creating their own friendship bench, which they presented to the school.

To help ensure the benches accurately represented the messages they want to share, the students carefully critiqued and refined their designs. They also created original pieces of poetry that celebrate diversity.

Teacher’s Reflections

  • Creative expression was a great way to develop imagination, problem-solving skills and confidence
  • In terms of improving the project for next time, setting clear deadlines for different parts of the project is a good idea

Students’ Reflections

I really enjoyed painting the mural, it was really colourful and fun to paint!

I liked making the Eiffel Tower in Life Skills and I liked shaping the chicken wire.

How Can People Help Minibeasts Project

16th May 2023Website Admin

In Spring Two, Zayit Class worked on an exciting project linked to their topic of ‘Minibeasts’, They focused on improving their knowledge of scientific vocabulary, how minibeasts are important to the environment and how people can help to protect them.

The main focus on their project was to develop their art and design skills by designing and making minibeast hotels. Through this task the students also worked on giving and receiving feedback about their designs.

The exhibition for the project involved Gesher’s Senior Leadership Team cutting the ribbon as part of the grand opening of the hotels.

Teacher’s Reflections

  • Engaging with all children involved the different learning and play opportunities
  • Rewarding to see all the children make great progress towards their communication targets
  • Challenging to build the minibeast hotels, however with a lot of teamwork and encouragement the children made great progress

Students’ Reflections

My highlight of the project was going to the environment centre.

The project was fun and I learnt how to make a minibeast hotel

Natural Disasters Project

1st May 2023Website Admin

In this project, Years 5 and 6 explored the different types of natural disasters and how communities can protect themselves when they occur.

They also made their own safety documentaries to raise awareness of natural disasters. These were accompanied by stop-animation effects, posters and survival kits.

The students also created their own ‘mini-worlds’ for the final exhibition to further demonstrate the impact that natural disasters can have on communities.

Teacher’s Reflections

  • I felt we covered a huge amount of detail when exploring each natural disaster due to the longer nature of the project
  • At times it was challenging to find external visitors to talk about their experience and I would have liked to expand our reach further into the local community

Students’ Reflections

My highlight of the project was going to the Natural History Museum

The project taught me that the weakest part of the hurricane is the middle
