Ms Beaumont Leave a comment

Going Green! Ground Force Day!

Our Missio group have carried out a school walk to think about how we can improve our learning environment.

On Tuesday 18th June we would like to invite all children to wear old clothes, bring gardening gloves and a scented plant such as lavender or rosemary.

After a garden tidy up, flowerbed weed, we will be planting the plants around the school. We will be caring for our school environment. If you have any spare plant pots or plants that would enhance our learning areas, please contact Ms Beaumont. If you have a few spare hours on Tuesday and could help out, please contact Ms Beaumont. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

New guidance from Curriculum for Wales on Effective environment highlight exploration of the environment is a key driver for development of a sense of belonging and an appreciation of the world around them.

Important Information for Tuesday 18th June.

Children should

  • Wear old clothes
  • Bring a scented plant eg. lavender? Please make sure that plants do not have thorns and are safe for children to be around.
  • Bring gardening gloves and a trowel
  • Do you have plant pots etc that we might reuse?

Could you spare an hour to help? If so contact Ms Beaumont

Many thanks, Ms Beaumont

The children gathered twigs during Wellie Wednesday.
They organised the twigs and grouped them according to their size to make a boat. ⛵️. The boats were placed in the water and we discussed floating and sinking.

Curriculum Statement

Ms Beaumont Leave a comment

The Catholic faith is at the heart of our curriculum and our vision is rooted in the Gospel values. Our new curriculum has the development of literacy and numeracy at its core, alongside developing the attributes for children to be good learners, as these are the essential life skills for every child to be able to access future learning. As a Foundation Phase School we know our children learn best through practical ‘hands on’ learning opportunities.  These enable them to experience exciting learning in a meaningful way that challenges and reflects their interest and encourages them to be curious and active in their own learning.

 We tailor learning to provide children with opportunities to develop skills and explore concepts. These will allow them to build their knowledge and understanding through topics that will capture their interest and stimulate their imagination, developing them as ambitious, confident, informed learners to face future challenges as lifelong learners.
