A message from Mr Morton

It has been another exciting and rather jam packed half term of new experiences and educational adventures here at school. It is always a real privilege to be part of the learning journey that our children undertake each half term and I am always blown away by how they apply their skills and knowledge to find the answers and to make those connections that allow them to make sense of the wider world.  It is not just in school that we see our children flourish. Well done and thank you to all of the children who represented our school at the Trust Performing Arts day, held at The Brewhouse Theatre in Taunton. You sang your amazing hearts out and filled the theatre with music. I know that you all had a fantastic day and that the experience of standing on a stage in front of a live audience was equally as scary as it was memorable.  I hope you have noticed the new amazing reading shed that has appeared on our playground this week? Our reading champions have worked tirelessly to raise money to fund the project. The new shed was designed and generously built by Mr Hayne. I'm sure you will join us in thanking Mr Hayne for this amazing addition to the school. It has now offered even more opportunities for our children to connect with reading and to extreme read!  Please all have a safe, restful and joyous Easter break filled with family, celebrations and maybe some chocolate eggs! We look forward to welcoming you all back for our Summer Term on Tuesday 18th of April. Happy Easter everyone!    Steve Morton Executive Head of School  Categories: 1 CategorySchool News

As we crest over the halfway point of the school year it is wonderful to see how much all of our children have grown. Not only in size but also as learners. It is an absolute pleasure to visit all of our teaching spaces and see our children engaged so deeply in their learning. From our youngest children, outside, exploring and making sense of their world to our oldest children holding debates and writing speeches that focus on how to celebrate and promote a more diverse world. Together we are helping to craft young minds and shape our future generations. Every dinner table conversation, every reading book and bedtime story shared, every chance to explore new things, in and out of school, helps them to grow. I feel privileged and humbled to be part of their journey. Keep up the good work everyone!    Categories: 1 CategorySchool News

A message from Steve Morton Welcome back everyone. We hope that you had a restful and enjoyable Christmas and New Year? Albeit a wet one! Term is off to a great start with all of the children straight back into the daily routines and excited to begin their new units of study. It is always a treat to spend time in the classes experiencing the learning of all of our children and seeing how they apply their skills to solve problems and to use their creativity to share their understanding. We are passionate about giving all of our children opportunities to experience the wider world and to consider the perspectives of others. Often this is achieved through reading/ research or teacher led knowledge sharing. However, one of the most immersive methods for this is to ‘walk a mile in the person's shoes’. Our plan over this year is to offer the children as many opportunities to experience the world from different perspectives as we can. This will be through expert guests visiting us, in school experience days, whole school values events, museum experiences and trips to other locations. It is going to be an exciting year.

Thank you everyone for another wonderful term here at Castle Primary School. The children have been engaged in lots of amazing activities and celebrations that have enriched our lives and lifted our spirits. The artwork and poetry created for our Remembrance Service tastefully celebrated the lives of those who gave so much for us and adorned our monument until they faded into the earth.  On Wednesday this week William, Jacob and Harry represented our school at the first Trust Public Speaking Competition. The topic was 'Can children make a difference to our environment?'. The team has been working for the last few weeks to formulate their presentation and then to practise public speaking. They represented our school with confidence and articulated their points like professionals. They spoke passionately about how children can make a difference and should always challenge what they know to be wrong or that can be done better.  We are very proud of them. We look forward to welcoming you all for our 'Carols by candlelight' gathering on the playground next week. Last year the children warmed our hearts with their singing and the brass band made it even more christmassy than one would think possible (cheesy Christmas jokes aside!). We are confident that this year will be even more of that wonderful spirit.  A great night to be had by all.  Have a wonderful break and a joyful celebration. We look forward to welcoming you all back on Wednesday 4th January 2023.  Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
