• Writers' Workshop

  Sat 29 Nov 2014

   

  Six budding writers from Year 5 took part in a special Writers' Day at Holy Trinity and St John's School on Thursday 20th November.  The day was run by Authors Abroad and was led by sci-fi writer Colin Parsons who really inspired the children.  They had lots of fun, learnt new techniques and wrote a short story about a computer game that comes to life.  Colin also signed books for them and posed for photos.  Thank you Mrs Poulter for accompanying the children on the trip.

• Year 6 Careers Day

  Tue 18 Nov 2014

   

  On Thursday 13th November, Year 6 enjoyed a morning of careers' workshops, talking to representatives of local businesses.  The children gained so much from it and we were very grateful to those who gave up a morning to come to the school.  Children asked a range of searching questions from qualifications needed for each profession to how many hours worked on average each week!

   

  Thank you to the local businesses who supported this annual event and to Mrs Dale for organising the morning.

  

• Y2 Maths lending library opened

  Fri 14 Nov 2014

  Year 2 Maths Lending Library opened

   

  On Friday 14th November the maths games library opened at  Cliftonville Primary School and Year 2 children were all able to take home a great maths game to play with their families and friends. Being Children in Need day the children all dressed as super heroes which added an extra element of fun to the day. Playing games is a great way for children to practise their maths skills and become more confident with basic number work. It is also a wonderful opportunity for families and friends to be together, and enjoy learning. There is a wide variety of games for the children to choose from which enable the children to practise adding, subtracting, working with money and many other maths concepts. We are very fortunate to have lots parents who were able to come along and play the games with the children on the opening day of the maths games library, and we hope that as the children take home the games, many more will be able to join in the learning experience. Gary the Clown came to visit us to make the day even more special, and he enjoyed working with the children and learning how to play some of the games too. There was a great deal of learning with lots of smiles and laughter.

   

  Thank you to Mrs Weitzel for organising today's special event to start the project and to the many parents and carers who came to join in the activities.

  Thank you as ever in anticipation of your generous support.

  

• Revised SEN Policy

  Mon 03 Nov 2014

   

  Mrs Standen, our SENCo, has been working on our revised SEN policy in line with changes to national and KCC policies.  She would love to have feedback from parents and carers of all children, whether or not your child has additional needs.  A formal response in writing would be appreciated but I know Mrs Standen would be more than happy to take your comments on board from an informal chat!  It is really important to us that your views are considered with such an important policy.
