December 2017 School Newsletter INFANT & JUNIOR SCHO OL CAMP EDUCATION NEWSLETTER Volume 10 Issue 2 December 2017 From the Head Teacher’s Desk Fitzroy & Port North FS2 Albemarle & Year 1 Year 5 Year 5 Anti-Bullying Week FS1 The RRS Discovery Child Illness Dates for your Diary Swimming School Disco From the Headteacher’s Desk Christmas is in the Air! The Key Stage 1 play is being rehearsed, Christmas cards are being made and end of term fun is under way. It has been lovely to see the children’s enthusiasm for their topics and new areas of learning this term. Over the last couple of weeks staff have been busy planning and undertaking a variety of visits with the children to support these topics. One of these was the residential visit to Goose Green which saw all of the year 5 pupils together. The Year 5s in Camp gathered with their friends from Stanley to learn about the settlement, Hope Place and the local environment. Some great memories and photos were shared with the rest of school on their return. The year 4 children also enjoyed a beautifully sunny day out at Gypsy Cove learning all about native flora and fauna a great way to make the most of our locality. All year groups (except FS2 who swim next term) have been refining their swimming skills in PE lessons this term and these will be put to use in the gala and fun sessions this week. Good luck to everyone. Next term we will have a new member of staff joining us when we return from the holidays. Mrs Jo Ford has accepted the role as Childcare Advisory Teacher to work with the Nurseries in preparing for regulation. I know you will join me in wishing her well in her new role within the Islands education system. Mr Alan Moore will be replacing her in FS2, we look forward to welcoming him as part of the team. Finally, have a great holiday. I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you all in January, Anne Milston (Acting Headteacher) Page 2 Fitzroy and Port North We were looking at measuring length, including height, using metres, centimetres and millimetres. We designed a healthy pizza using food from the different food groups in D & T We were inspired by the BBC’s Art Ninja and decided to create a watercolour with a 3D effect. Page 3 FS2 In FS2 we have been visiting Nursery Rhyme Land, we stopped off at the bakery and sang ‘5 Currant Buns’. We made currant buns in the kitchen. Later we made our own food from clay. We modelled it and painted it and then had a go at writing the label to match. We also practised counting out cherries for our number cakes and we even got to visit Stanley House to look in their kitchen and eat our snack. Page 4 Page 5 Albemarle Year 1 We looked at how plants grow with This term in Year 1 we have been different levels of water, warmth, air learning about ‘Toys’. and sunlight - the one with good levels We have brought our own favourite of all four grew the best. The one with toys in to share with the class, and are least water still grew but the seedling making different toys by carefully was not as tall and the one with too planning how to make them and what much did not germinate. materials to use. We were lucky to have some visitors come in and show us their old toys. We thought that Mr Eagle’s talking darlec was very funny! We enjoyed learning how to play dominoes and marbles, and Mrs Davies read us the story of ‘Old Bear’ and explained how the Teddy bear got its name! We have talked about what materials toys are made from and Magic Grandad taught us about toys across different historic periods. We will also be going to the Museum to look at Falkland toys from the past. Page 5 Year 5 Camp Over the past two terms, Year 5 have been learning about the early settlers in the Falkland Islands in particular the Gauchos in Lafonia. On Monday 27th November all of the children travelled to Goose Green School for a 3 day Camp Trip. On the Monday the children explored the Goose Green settlement and visited the shearing shed. Mrs Short explained what goes on in there and we then had a visit from the local barn owl! After setting up our tents and playing some team games we had dinner in the Galley Café before hot chocolate, a DVD and finally a night out under the stars. Early on Tuesday morning (not at the teacher’s request) the children all got up, had breakfast and were raring to go. We travelled to Hope Place and after a gentle excursion reached our destination. Taking in the ruins of the Saladero and the picturesque landscapes the children had the chance to sketch the roaming scenery. After lunch we combed the beach and found all sorts of wildlife. On return to Goose Green we played some more games, had another filling meal and then fell asleep at a much more reasonable time. On the final day we had a long trek out to Bodie Creek Bridge for another opportunity at some art work. This time we focused on perspective. After our lunch we headed back and took down our tents. We said our goodbyes to Beth, Alicia, Christopher, Anthony and Emma and thanked Miss Edwards for having us. Exhausted, we left Camp but had a fantastic time. We would like to thank all of the teachers for our trip but special mention must go to Mrs Short and Mrs Arthur-Almond who drove both of the minibuses and without them we could not have gone.

Year 5 Teaching Team Mrs Anne-Marie Tibble, Mr Dan Harrison and Mrs Sarah Bonner Page 7 Anti-Bullying Week We are pleased to tell you that IJS&CE helped support this year’s anti-bullying campaign (13th - 17th November). This year the theme was ‘All Different, All Equal’ and looked at celebrating and being proud of our individuality, what unites us, recognising bullying and knowing what to do about it. Bullying is… “…the repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power” Anti-Bullying Alliance In class we have been looking at what makes us special and the importance of treating each other well and celebrating what makes us different to each other. The children have had discussions, created art work and looked at what they are good at. Each child was also asked to bring in a pebble that they then painted and decorated in their own individual style this was then used to create a collaborative piece of art work. The art work can be viewed on the grass area opposite the school reception on pencil lane. On Friday the children were invited to take part in our ‘Proud to be’ Day. Children came in clothes that show what they are ‘proud to be’ and celebrated their identity We saw children representing their sporting clubs, their hobbies and interests, clothes that represented their cultural background and of course those children who were just proud to be themselves. Page 8 FS1 This term we have been very busy in FS1 sweeping, drawing, building, pouring, balancing, throwing and catching. All these activities improve our Physical Development and are lots of fun. Page 9 The RRS Discovery Pupils in Year 5 and 6 had the chance at the beginning of the month to apply to visit the RRS Discovery whilst it was docked in Stanley.

  • 250 Years of Cattle on the Falkland Islands, 1763-2013 R. Trevor Wilson1
    Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences June 2016, Vol. 5, No. 1, pp. 1-19 ISSN: 2334-2404 (Print), 2334-2412 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jaes.v5n1a1 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/jaes.v5n1a1 From Feral to fully farmed: 250 years of Cattle on the Falkland Islands, 1763-2013 R. Trevor Wilson1 Abstract A very few cattle were landed on the Falkland by the French in 1763, later augmented by about 60 head by the Spanish. Unoccupied from 1770 to 1820, reports then indicated 20,000 to 100,000 head roaming East Falkland. From the 1830s cattle were hunted for hides, an activity formalized through (British) Government land grants and slaughter licences. During the 1840s Government tried to attract settlers and sheep began to super cede cattle. There were occasional uncoordinated attempts to improve the genetics through introduction of “superior” breeds. An experimental farm established in the 1920s was short-lived as cattle numbers declined and sheep numbers increased. Further sporadic cattle imports were made during the mid twentieth century. Artificial insemination was introduced in the 1970s with imported British beef and dairy breed semen. A National Beef Herd was established in 1997 to breed superior cattle – mainly via artificial insemination and embryo transfer – able to produce organic or “near-organic” beef finished at 24-30 months under the harsh environment of the Falklands with a view to obtaining access to the EU market. Local farmers collectively own about 6000 cattle in small herds whose main objective is to supply household milk and beef.

    Juan Alberto Pérgamo* Las Malvinas “Tiene las alas salpicadas de islotes...” José Pedroni Geografía de alas prisioneras batiendo espuma de islotes. las dos alas, las dos islas, y la patria gritando un dolor viejo sosteniendo bajo el mar con los brazos cansados, impacientes, su vuelo detenido. Los lobos roqueros rumor de sueño, el rumor del mar protesta continuada. La gaviota rompe sus cadenas de costa a costa, de cielo a cielo, de la misma tierra al mismo aire va y viene su argentino vuelo. El pingüino otea la libertad día y noche, blanco y negro corazón partido, blasón del todo o nada para la tierra helada. Tierra con nombre de mujer, árida prisionera, hija infecunda, dolor más dolido, soledad en soledad partida, gaviota perdida en el mar. Perdida entre voces extrañas, solitaria, meditando el nombre presentido hasta que el canto llegue, tan azul como el horizonte, tan blanco como la nieve en compaña de bandera. Como la tierra madre con la historia hija, con la sangre hermana. En el silencio se oye más clara tu espera, Soledad.

Their maritime significance continued until 1914 when the Panama Canal opened. From then on, commercial shipping saved considerable time, risk and danger by taking a more direct route to and from the Pacific. Geographically they formed a gateway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Indeed the important early Naval Battles of both World Wars were fought in the South Atlantic. During the classic period of world exploration at the beginning of the twentieth century, The Falkland Islands became one of the important gateways for Antarctic expeditions.
