Paired Reading

Many thanks to all of the parents and carers who have given up their time to come into school to listen to our children read. This has been going on for well over a year now and has made a huge difference to so many children in our school.
In addition to this, we have been lucky enough to have sixth formers from Joseph Swan and Emmanuel College coming in every week to listen to our children read and play games with them. So thanks too to all of the students and staff who have helped make this such a success. All of the hard work has really paid off as the children are gaining confidence in their reading every week.
Any parents/grandparents/carers who would like to come in and spend a few hours a week listening to children read would be more than welcome (please ask in the office for a CRB form or come in and we can have a chat!).
Thanks again for all of your hard work, Mrs McVicar.

Family Learning trip to the Farm

Thank you to all the parents and children from Year 1 and Reception who came along to Bill Quay farm to join in our family learning workshops. The weather was awful but that did not dampen our spirits! The children got to take photos of all of the animals and talk to their parents about what they saw. I think you will agree that the morning was a huge success and most importantly the children all had a great time (even though some did not like the smell!!!!)
We look forward to seeing you again for the next workshops.
Thanks again, Mrs McVicar (the one who hounded you all to come along.
