Making a name for ourselves at the BETT Show!

By D Gray22nd January 2016

Some members of staff have been sharing our best practise with teachers from around the world at this year’s British Educational Training and Technology Show. We’ve partnered with realsmart, who have helped to bring our whole school online, to encourage others to showcase great learning to their community.

How does exercise make us feel?

By Mrs S Taylor21st January 2016

When I walked past the hall today at Countess Way, I couldn’t help but go in and see what was happening!

The room was a buzz of energy with the learning objective: How does exercise make us feel? The children were discussing the physical and emotional feelings related to exercise.

 

They also couldn’t wait to show me the challenging activities which had raised their heart rates!

 

Early Years Hub Launch

By 20th January 2016

We have launched our Early Years Hub. It was brilliant to meet so many keen and eager early years practitioners! The discussions and idea sharing was very thought provoking!

 

We are working with all practitioners that work with children under 5 (schools, nurseries, child minders, children’s centres…).

The aim of our hub is to;

  • Create a network between early years providers in Milton Keynes.
  • Build friendships.
  • Sharing good practice and CPD opportunities for all early years practitioners across Milton Keynes.
  • Increase communication and collaboration between early years providers in Milton Keynes.
  • Improve the percentage of children that are deemed ‘ready’ for starting school.
  • Focus on school readiness, specifically writing.
  • Aid transition to school.

Charity Make up event for the teachers – part one!

By admin10th January 2016
A big big thank you to one of our wonderful parents, Roopa Chudasama, who kindly gave up her time on Friday evening to give the teachers a make up lesson! We had a great time, following Roopa’s step by step guide to create a day time look and an evening look. Roopa not only gave up her time, but provided us all with amazing goody bags full of products from Mac, Boobi Brown, Clinique, Origins…and more!! As well as it being a great opportunity to have a girly get together, we also raised at least £230 for Great Ormond Street Hospital! The next session will take place at the end of the month, so watch this space for more photos and a total amount raised for such a worthwhile charity. Thanks again Roopa!
