• Respect and Enjoyment

  Tue 03 Mar 2020

  We have enjoyed welcoming Terry and Charlie into school over the last two days. Terry delivered two assemblies and managed to visit every class in the school. The children loved petting Charlie and hearing about Terry and Charlie’s new role as Guide Dog Ambassadors. As it is World Book Day this week, Terry also shared a poem written especially for our school about Guide Dogs. The children learned a lot about Guide Dog users and had the opportunity to ask Terry lots of questions. The children also learned that not many people with sight difficulties use Braille any more, due to talking technology being available.

• Reflection - Fairtrade Fortnight

  Wed 26 Feb 2020

  During Fairtrade fortnight, the children had a very informative assembly from a representative from the Coop. The children learnt lots about Fairtrade and what it truly means to ensure someone receives the money they should for the crop they produce. They focussed in on bananas and the journey they take reaching our shelves. It was a great way to reflect on the little that some farmers earn around the world and how some organisations are trying to support them in sustain their businesses.

  

• Collaboration and Curiosity - Maths in year 1

  Fri 14 Feb 2020

  The year 1 children were working collaboratively and exploring different ways to represent a number. They did this using a variety of resources. 

  An excellent effort and a great way to reinforce their conceptual understanding of number. 

  

• Enjoyment and Collaboration - Dragon House afternoon

  Wed 12 Feb 2020

  The children across the school had a superb afternoon. They went into their Dragon Houses and had lots of fun taking part in a variety of activities. Adbolton were the winning house and they had a disco. Trent, Seymour, Rutland and Pierrepont enjoyed making valentines cards, playing board games, creating their own flag and making the tallest towers. It was so lovely to see how collaboratively our children worked and especially how well our older children supported our younger children.
