• The Merchant of Venice

  Fri 28 Feb 2020 Mrs Thomas
  As a Royal Shakespeare Company Lead Associate School, every year we focus on one of Shakespeare's plays for a whole week. This year we have all been immersed in 'The Merchant of Venice' which is a tale of love, prejudice, revenge and justice. Each year group have looked at parts of the play (appropriate for their age), reading the text, using drama to bring the text to life and using the language to influence their own writing. We have also used cross-curicular lessons to explore the story and the setting of Venice. We have visits and support from an artist in Year 6, a drama specialist in Years 3 and 4 and a musician in Year 1. We have finished the week with a celebratory assembly looking at some of the work that has gone on and there will be a display of a portion of this work in school. Come and take a look next time you are in school. If you would to see work that your child has been doing please go to their class page on the website.

• EUROPEAN CUP VISITS OBS WITH NOTTINGHAM FOREST 'DREAM BIG' ASSEMBLY

  Thu 13 Feb 2020
  We were lucky enough to have a visit from Nottingham Forest on Wednesday 12th February as part of their Dream Big project. The idea behind this is to encourage children to be resilient and try to overcome any challenges they have to achieve their goals in life. This project is linked to the story of the Nottingham Forest team who in 1976 were a 2nd Division team fighting relegation but under the management of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor became league Champions and double European Cup Winners in the space of just 4 years.

   

  As part of the visit the European Cup was on display and some lucky children, who had won a school writing competition, got to have their picture taken with this famous trophy.

   

  The children loved every second of the assembly and left feeling both elated and inspired!
