Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:27:04+01:00Dear parent / Guardian We hope that you and your families are keeping well through these difficult times. Since my last blog, I have been working through the government guidance relating to the possible partial reopening of schools from 1st June.

You can access it by clicking this link. There are two videos there actually, with the other being of the children singing the Spring Chicken song - that's a fun one! I wonder if [...]
Prepping for Week 2…
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:27:04+01:00Dear parents, Well done for managing a week's worth of learning at home. I bet it's had its challenges, but also some fun bits too - I have four boys of my own at home, so I know only too well how hard it can be! We're about to head into the school's 'Easter Break,' but it's not going to [...]

Home learning ideas…
Julian Thomas2020-03-19T10:27:17+00:00AKA, musing of a headteacher. We’re sending out ideas and packs today… And we’ll be populating web pages… But we thought we could host a place where people could post ideas? I'm sure Pinterest and Facebook will help here too, but it's a thought; a possible helpful page? It's also un-moderated. Please be thoughtful of the audience! Link here, for [...]
Composition in class one!
staff2022-08-18T13:27:07+01:00Over the last couple of weeks we have been looking at rhythmic patterns. We created our own symbols - a circle showed one beat, a rectangle showed two beats and a triangle showed a 'rest'! We created our own rhythm patterns and had a go at clapping them - keeping in time with each other. Today, we each had our [...]

Our School Council… on food.
Julian Thomas2020-02-10T20:54:56+00:00Our School Council meetings take place every month so that I can share my thoughts and make some decisions alongside representatives from every class. They, in turn, read minutes back to the rest of their class and discuss the items we spoke about. For a while now, some of the year 6 children have made comments about portion sizes being [...]
