Tudor Day 2011 - Thanks to all those parents who helped with providing their children with outfits for our Tudor Day earlier this term. We all had an interesting and enjoyable day during which we learned something of the ways in which people lived in Tudor times.
Below are some photographs and there are more on the Learning Platform.
Learning platform - All the children in Years Five and Six have been able to log on to the Holly Grove Learning Platform. Our Learning Platform is Internet-Based and is able to be used on any internet-enabled computer. In time it could be used as a means of communication between school and home as well as between pupils. Miss Warren and Mr Ferguson have both been on a training course which has equipped them with the expertise needed for the basic operation of the system; however it is a very sophisticated piece of Software and it will take some time to achieve proficiency.
Parents may well wish to learn to use the Learning Platform alongside their children especially as this Platform is used throughout many schools in Staffordshire and is often used for handing out Assignments for Homework etc. If any parents have any questions about the Learning Platform then please see either Mr Ferguson or Miss Warren.
September 2011 - Welcome
The new Academic Year has started on a very positive note; the "extra" teacher available for the teaching of English has meant that we have been able to group the children so that they will be receiving more targeted work which is appropriate to their ability.
The topic this term is The Tudors; we have arranged the teaching so that Mrs Surplice, Miss Warren and Mr Ferguson will each be delivering a different aspect of the Topic over a four week period, at the end of which the Class will be taught by a different teacher so that the pupils experience a more intensive learning programme.
This Term's Timetables and letters have now been added to this section of the Website (see below), please take the time to read your weekly timetable so that you remember to bring the correct P.E./Games/Swimming Kit on the appropriate days.
