The life of a small school Headteacher! I thought I'd share this morning's randomness... From delivering tea around school, unblocking the drain this morning that could have caused our younger children to walk through curtain of water, to an audit on the new GDPR regulations. And that's all before playtime. Quite broad and random sometimes!
We started our Science topic this afternoon - Plants! We started looking at 'wild plants' and tried to see how many we could name. We created a list of; dandelion, daisy, buttercup, clover, nettle, bramble, dog rose and ivy! We then got into pairs and searched the school grounds to see how many of our wild plants we could find!

Our "Sean's Day" is an easy and fun way of gaining some financial support for a charity in Africa called Challenge Ministries Swaziland [...]
This afternoon the year 1s have been learning about how to have a growth mindset! We talked about some of the things we find tricky with our learning and how it is ok to put our hands up to ask for help! We made some posters to help us remember to; always try our best, keep trying even if I [...]
It's our 150th year and we've got some pledges from children pinned to the board in the school entrance, promising to raise funds for the school through well deserved sponsorships. We've seen some really challenging challenges, such as... Completing 150 laps of the field (which would be really ambitious if that was in a single day?) Kissing Dad 150 times [...]
After seeing Manchester's #BeeInspired trail during the summer that represented the values of Manchester, Miss Summerville decided to do something similar with class 4 on Friday and ask them to represent the values of our school with pictures.
