Pupils in Years 2-6 are trialling a new approach in history and geography lessons this term, with the introduction of our learning booklets.  Staff have been working hard over the past term to create packs which will be used by pupils as they work their way through the various topics instead of having traditional exercise books.  We hope that this will help the children to know exactly where they are headed in their learning and will save time on recording and on the copying and sticking of worksheets into books.  It also means that we have been able to more carefully include learning about the local area and its history; really helping pupils to understand how Nash Mills came about.  Watch this space for more updates!

This week, we took delivery of a new resource which will be used by Key Stage 2 pupils as part of their work in computing.  The Sphero programmable robots are the latest addition to the range of equipment that we use to expose our children to programming and the area of computer science.  

The robots, which were funded through a grant from Edufund, a local charitable organisation, will help pupils to begin to gain understanding of how different programming software can be used.  These are in addition to the Crumble and Microbit devices already used by pupils in Year 5 and 6.

This week's leader board is for the most correct answers over the last week. I am delighted to see our first KS1 pupil make the top 3, well done Anastasia! Ivy still sits at the top, but the gap is narrowing. 

Well done to our top 3 Rock Stars this week!
