A message from Mr Morton

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

Welcome back everyone. We hope that you had a delightful break. As always, our children have returned with a spring in their step and an enthusiasm to learn. What more can we ask of them? It was lovely to share all of the children’s progress with you during our parents' evenings and what a delight to actually do them in person. The change of season into autumn brings a need for waterproof jackets, wellies, scarves and the start of the festive season. I can almost hear the rustle of tinsel on the angel costumes. We look forward to welcoming you into school to join us for many festive celebrations over the coming months and share a carol and mince pie or 2!  Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
