A visit from a real-life explorer!

This week, we had a visit from David Higgins, a well-known photographer and explorer. He talked to us about his wonderful, exciting adventures from around the world and he had many stories to tell. David showed us a selection of the extraordinary photographs he has taken of animals from across the globe and some of them can be seen on the National Geographic website.

Homework review

Thank you to all the parents who visited school today for our homework review. There has been some fantastic, creative homework produced by the children this week. Our ‘Watch us while work’ morning is taking place on Wednesday 08 November where you can see some more fantastic learning in our classrooms.

Some of the comments from our parents today:

What went well:

“I think it is a great way to see how every child has individuality and personality. It’s lovely to see all the children proud of their achievements.”
“I really liked the way all the children had their say and offered advice or ideas to improve.”

An ‘even better if’ comment:

“All the children get a comment made on their work, even if it’s a teacher’s comment.”
