Posted on: 20/11/2020A message from Gareth NationWhat a busy week! My thanks to those of you who joined the teachers for parents evening. I appreciate these were a little different to normal but no doubt you managed to gain a good insight into your child’s education and how you can support at home. I've already received some positive comments which is lovely to hear. Since our last newsletter, the children have been working on their new Discovery project and are focusing on Design and Technology and Science. Based on the successes and impressive outcomes from last term's Discovery project in Art, I’m sure the standard of work will be just as strong if not better. The children have made a large clay installation of Buckland St. Mary. Every child has contributed and applied a range of skills to produce some fantastic outcomes. Once we're safely able to do so, we will take the creations to be fired and assemble the final installation! Watch this space! Please take time to look at some of the latest developments on our website. Under the ‘About Us/Curriculum’ section, you will find our Curriculum Statement of Intent as well as further detail of how and what we are teaching at school. Some of these sections are still under development but please enjoy learning more about the work we are doing to enhance the full curriculum we offer the children. Finally, my thanks to those parents who've sent messages of support to me and the team. I cannot emphasise how hard every member of staff is working in these exceptionally challenging times. Despite the obviously difficult situation, your child's/children's safety, wellbeing and learning remains at the heart of everything we do.Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
Posted on: 13/11/2020Children in Need DayDear Parents / Carers, On Friday 13th November 2020, Buckland St. Mary C of E Primary School will be hosting a 'wear something spotty' day to help raise money for Children in Need. As you know, Children in Need support charities and projects across the UK who help remove the barriers some children and young people face in order to help them thrive. The impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on children's mental health and wellbeing has been huge and we can all play a part in supporting services to provide a better quality of life for children in need. Please help us support this important cause by providing a small donation next Friday 13th November. Your child/children can wear spots for the day! Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
