A Message from Mr Morton

A very warm welcome back to you all. I hope that you had a fabulous, festive and fun filled two weeks away from school. I know that I do not need to be anywhere near a minced pie again until al least November! We are grateful that term has started as smoothly as could be expected in such turbulent times. The children have settled back into routine like clockwork and this has helped us to maintain a calm and positive environment as we start the term. As I do my daily visit to all of the classes, it is fabulous to see all of the children engaged in their learning and sharing their own understanding of the world around them.  There are many exciting experiences planned for the children to get involved in over the coming term and we can’t wait to share all of our learning with you. We currently have a vacancy on our Teaching and Learning Committee (Governing body equivalent) and we would love to have parental representation. It’s not as onerous as it may sound! The committee meets 4 times a year for  an hour to discuss the school's progress and to help challenge and steer the wider development of our children’s education. If you are interested then please fill out an expression of interest form (available form the school office) Having a parental voice on our committee is an invaluable part of the team as it give us the parents perspective. I hope to see you at our next meeting!!!  Categories: 1 CategorySchool News

IT’S CHRISTMAS!!!! Yes that day you have been looking forward to is just around the corner. It has not been a smooth running term where government guidance has been concerned but we have done our upmost to offer our children as ‘normal’ an end of term as we can. Many of our usual activities and events have been able to continue with only minor adjustments or a change of venue. The tree is twinkling and the performances, albeit recorded or outside, have concluded. All that is let to do now is to sit back, light the fire, pour a glass of something lovely and reflect on all of our achievements this term.  The children and staff have worked extremely hard to create interesting and creative discovery units that have culminated in some fantastic design work. Light up models and sustainable Christmas gift wrapping solutions to name but a few. We continue to  develop our curriculum to enthuse and engage our children in purposeful and exciting activities and the results of this are amazing! Thank you for you support, patience and flexibility this term. Have a safe and restful Christmas break and I look forward to seeing you all in January.  Categories: 1 CategorySchool News

Another great month here at Castle Primary School. Our discovery work is well underway in the classes and the children are becoming experts in a variety of subjects! Please take the time to look at their curriculum maps and knowledge organisers that the class teachers shared with you at the start of the term. They are an excellent way to keep in touch with the learning focus that your children are engaged with and also an excellent way of quizzing the children about their learning and what they have remembered so far...We hope that this will save you from the usual answer of “nothing!” to the question of “What did you do at school today?”. Please let us know if they are useful and watch this space as they become part of our everyday practices in school as a tool to help the children grow as confident learners.  Categories: 1 CategorySchool News

What a lovely first half term it has been here at Castle Primary School. The children have all worked very hard on their Discovery units of work and have produced some fabulous art. It has been amazing to see them in action and to hear them speak with such confidence about the specific artists, techniques they have studied and their own opinions on which artists work they like and why. We may have a few budding artists and art critics in the making! Thank you for all of your generous support with our Lord’s Larder collection from our Harvest festival celebrations. We were saddened not to have been able to invite you in but we look forward to welcoming you to lots of our events (outdoors and in) as the next term unfolds. Have a lovely and restful half term and we look forward to seeing you all ready for the next one!  Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
