It was a pleasure to invite Councillor Christine May and Rachael Taggart to our school council meeting to talk about the health and safety surrounding our school. The children did us proud!
They presented their concerns as well as their possible solutions with confidence, asked brilliant questions which made Councillor May and Rachael ‘think very hard.’
There was a very important question which was asked by Rachael, “If there was one thing you could change in our community what would it be?’ How would you answer that ?
Teachers in Years 1 to 6 have introduced CAPTIONS in some of their teaching. This means that the teacher wears a microphone and their words show on the screen like subtitles. There is a lot of evidence that this can support some learners to focus and process information effectively.
We will keep listening to the children and asking how this is helping them.
Our school governors want to know EVERYTHING that goes on in school and their favourite thing is listening to our children. Brilliant Club came to tell them all about this year’s project on PHILOSOPHY. The children have been thinking about fairness and equity. They create assignments and a dissertation and end up with university-style grades and a visit to a university. They were so inspired this year and really enjoyed the deep thinking and deep learning.
