Short journalistic piece about killer whales in ca

Short journalistic piece about killer whales in captivity by Year 7 student Lexi. Sea world are hiding things they shouldn’t!
First, orcas are forced to do the shows, forced to lift their excessive body weight out of the water. They have no choice. If they do they show badly, they are forced to starve. I mean at the end of the day their meant to swim 140 miles per day but captivity is like being stuck in a bathtub. They hurt themselves by banging on the tanks, biting on the concrete which makes their teeth shorter. It’s because they hate the environment they live in. They are becoming depressed, being ripped away from their pods must be scary. Tilikum died in captivity. He lived his whole life in a tank, forced to suffer. Tilikum was bred 21 times before he died. But, only 10 of his calves live on today. In total, 40 orcas have died now on Sea World’s watch, this is not OK! What’s your stance on killer whale captivity? #youthactivism #killerwhales #seaworld #oneplanet #freekillerwhales @bhh.shaftesbury.school @shaftesburyenglish @shaftesbury_school_art @shaftesbury_school_computing @shaftesbury_school_pe

It’s world book day on March 4 as planned. The true purpose of the day – a celebration of books and imagination – will be largely unaffected by lockdown restrictions. It will just mean children will be celebrating at home with their families rather than in school with their friends and teachers.#lovereading #worldbookday #sherborneareaschoolstrust @bhh.shaftesbury.school @shaftesbury_school_art @shaftesburyenglish @shaftesbury_school_pe

There can be no change without action. Rosa Parks

There can be no change without action. Rosa Parks Day honors an American Civil Rights hero. On either February 4th or December 1st, the holiday recognizes the civil rights leader Rosa Parks.
On December 1, 1955, after a long day of work, Rosa Parks boarded a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She took her seat in the ‘colored’ section. As she rode the Cleveland Avenue bus home, the bus began to fill.
The Montgomery city ordinance allowed bus drivers to assign seating. However, it did not permit them to demand passengers give up their seats. Despite this, bus drivers customarily required black passengers to give up their seats to white passengers when public transportation became full.
When the bus driver asked Rosa Parks to give up her seat, she refused. Police arrested her, and what followed is Civil Rights history.

We know many parts of life feel like they are on pause at the moment, but take a moment to enjoy these nature shots taken all over the world to celebrate diversity in nature. As January ends and February beckons we have some things lined up for you all. Stay safe and try to enjoy the pause.

We are delighted that our students work is reachin

We are delighted that our students work is reaching a global audience thanks to our partners @biotecture_ In a competition we ran towards the end of 2020 students had to design a city of the future. @biotecture_ were inspired by their work and have written a blog. See a snippet below. The entries we received were of such a high quality that we really struggled to choose a winner. Some of the entries included some great ideas for the future, such as roof gardens on every building, more allotments to provide a more sustainable food chain, three trees planted for every other tree chopped down and even planting appropriate species around transport hubs to reduce emissions. It’s great to see the future of the planet through the eyes of today’s children, especially when it’s such a green minded one. Ultimately, the winner was one that incorporated social housing for the homeless and a community spirit which was great to see. The winning entry had a combination of all the necessary elements and showed a real sense of social conscience and community sharing which is especially important in the challenging times we face in 2021. A massive thank you has to go to the students for their entries, and for inspiring us all to help create a more sustainable future for the next generation. #livingwalls #greencity #stemeducation #future
