Fabulous training session with HYWEL ROBERTS😀🦈 at school today. Lots of wonderful ideas to support staff in making our curriculum even better for the children.

Many thanks to English Association and UKLA for inspirational ideas through their publication English 4 - 11. Lots of discussion today about use of poetry in class as well as debating to help improve oracy - linking perfectly with our training yesterday.

Many thanks to Skills Builder Partnership Goldman Sachs and Lloyds for a fabulous session where the Y6 children got to ask employees from these companies a variety of questions about the skills that they use everyday within their role. Incredibly informative.

Another fantastic Skills Builder session where Y6 were able to speak to three people from the aviation industry and learnt so much about their key roles.

Having a fantastic whole school day involving the children and staff in the Skills Builder Partnership Greeting Card Challenge. Wonderful examples of teamwork, problem solving and creating.

Look at these fab cards based on our Skills Builder Partnership challenge. So many key skills required to produce these fantastic cards.

Many thanks to everyone attending the Christmas Fair this afternoon. Your support is always appreciated. As ever, we must thank the Friends of Hayfield Lane for their help in organising so many fantastic events.

Mr Carroll enjoyed discussing so many fabulous Christmas books with children and parents at the Christmas Fair. It was fabulous to share the picture book gallery recommendations that the children have worked so hard on.
