• Democracy-Visit to the Council Chambers

  Mon 28 Mar 2022 T.Keane

  Two of our School Council members were invited to Nottinghamshire County Council to participate in two debates with other children from Rushcliffe Schools. They also learned about democracy in Britain and Parliament.

  We were really pleased to receive this feedback from the event organisers.

  “We have always been blown away with the level of engagement no and confidence the children show during these sessions, however this time the children have exceeded our expectations. We also noted how well prepared the children were with the debates and we really appreciate the time staff must have taken to get ready for this meeting.”

  Despite being landlocked at Beaumanor Hall, the Year 2 children learned everything they needed to know about being a pirate! They worked in teams to master the skills of map reading, code breaking, balancing and aiming! By the end of the day they were well and truly ready for a life at sea!

  In history this week, the Year 4 children re-enacted Roman battles!

  As you can see, the shields that the Year 4 children have created are amazing!!! Fantastic work, Year 4!
