• Enterprise workshop in Y5/6

  Mon 20 Feb 2017 Mr. B.
  Thank you to Kimberley, Georgia, Dan, Rachel, Students from Leeds University who visited us this morning to run an enterprise workshop with Years 5 and 6 to kick off the 'Inventions' topic. The children participated really well and the students commented on how well behaved and engaged the children were!

  

• Year 5/6 art exhibition

  Fri 10 Feb 2017 Mr. B.

  Year 5/6's William Morris inspired artwork is now being exhibited in the Miners' Welfare Hall. It will be on display in either the main hall or the Isabella room at any time when the hall is open until Friday February 24th.

  The children are rightly proud of their work, and the staff loved witnessing their determination to produce work of a good quality. Lots of children impressed themselves with their painting, many of whom had earlier claimed to 'not be able to paint', and a good number of children insisted on starting again because they knew they could do better.

  Well done to all children and staff!

  

• Year 5/6 Victorian Day

  Fri 10 Feb 2017 Mr. B.
  The Victorian day held in Year 5/6 yesterday was excellent. The staff and children made a fantastic effort with their costumes (photographs to follow, hopefully) and, it turned out, some of our children seemingly preferred the stricter Victorian approach to schooling!

  

• Key Stage One open classrooms

  Fri 10 Feb 2017 Key Stage One staff

  Our Key Stage One ‘Open Classrooms’ were really well attended this morning. Lots of parents/carers really appreciated seeing their children’s work and being given a tour of the classroom! Below is a small selection of the feedback we received on Class Dojo.

  Thank you if you were able to attend, from all the Key Stage One staff.

   

  I thought it was lovely thing to do. I love being involved in my daughter’s school work too and she always comes home and tells me what she's done and if she found it okay or difficult. I think the classroom is set out fab too with their work all over. They all seem to have a really good routine and supportive class. I can see why my daughter loves coming to school - she has fab friends and fab teachers, well done to you and Ms Tovey for putting so much effort and time into our children. x

   

  I found this very useful as I can see where my daughter is doing well and where she may need extra help.

   

  I really enjoyed having the opportunity to come in and look at what my son has been doing in school and to see his work, as the only other time we really get to see this is parents evening when time is more limited. They all seem to have pride in their school work, a wonderful idea. Thank you.

   

  Hi, it was really good to see how far my son has come since starting here in September. Thank you for helping him write his words, hopefully his writing will become as extensive as his vocabulary! He was very excited and I loved him showing me his work books and class work on the wall.
