A word from the Principal...<br />
Dear families,<br />
And just like that, it’s half term and halfway through the school year. This year is flying by and it’s<br />
only going to seem to accelerate as we race towards the summer term where the extra-curricular<br />
events come thicker and faster than ever!<br />
This week our Y5 children have been living it up in ‘The Big Smoke’ as they headed to London for<br />
their residential. As always, this trip was action-packed with trip to the museums, Houses of Parliament,<br />
London Eye, Wicked at the theatre and much more. The children were wonderfully behaved,<br />
representing the school brilliantly and earning many compliments from members of the public. I’d<br />
like to extend my thanks to all of the staff involved in the planning and delivery of this trip, it is<br />
much appreciated.<br />
Finally, some question ideas to get the past the stock-response of ‘nothing’ from many childre when<br />
asked about their school day:<br />
• Tell me about the best part of your day.<br />
• What was the hardest thing you had to do today?<br />
• Did any of your classmates do anything funny?<br />
• Tell me about what you read in class.<br />
• Who did you play with today?<br />
• What can you teach me that you learnt today?<br />
Research shows that asking children about their learning and showing interest in their day has a<br />
significant impact on how well they conduct themselves and achieve at school.<br />
Have a great half term.<br />
Kind regards,<br />
Mr Adam Anderson<br />
Principal
