This week started off with Sandygate hosting some wonderful volunteers from SoftCat. The team spent the morning in the school grounds, tidying up the Wildlife corridor and the Wild World. They also planted some new trees. They worked hard and managed to complete everything on our list. It was great to welcome them and their donation of 'time' was generous and appreciated.
We held our Year 1 curriculum session on Wednesday and feedback from the parents who attended was extremely positive. The aim was to respond to parent requests to understand how and what there children are learning in school, and to understand the expectations of the curriculum, so we had been expecting greater numbers. Next week sees the Year 2 curriculum session which we hope will be as equally useful to parents but we do not have many people signed up yet. Please see the article below for more information and link to sign up.
Shhhh it's a surprise! Next week we are looking forward to the arrival of some reindeers on Wednesday! The Reindeers are coming from Riverways Farm and the children will be learning about their naturally habitats and how they are adapted to it. Each year group will have its own session with the reindeers and this will form part of their science learning. All funded by the PFA, this visit is, I am sure, going to provide not only valuable learning for the children but also great excitement! Remember to keep it secret from the children as we really want it to be a surprise.
