Storymaking project.
Has your child told you the story of The Little Red Hen yet?
Staff have been inspired after attending the first of a series of professional development sessions run by Pie Corbett at a primary local school. We feel that the children have been inspired too, so why not ask your child / children to tell you a story. We’d love to hear your feedback.
Links with Holy Trinity School, Camden.
The Key Stage 2 class have started to communicate with the Year 5 class at the above school. We are all very excited about the prospect of linking up and learning about the similarities and differences between our schools. We plan to use a range of ICT in order to get to know each school and already have a provisional date in the diary for the class from Camden to visit us.
