  • We aim to structure a wide range of learning experiences, which offer equal opportunities for each child to experience success.
  • The new library is regularly up-dated with new reading material. One of the many advantages of our small classes is the individual attention that each child receives with his/her reading skills.
  • We aim to create a secure and intellectually challenging environment based on a broad and balanced curriculum, which will enable all children to reach their full potential.
  • We aim to encourage independence so each child can take responsibility for their own learning.
  • We aim to display and promote good behaviour at all times in order that each child can accept responsibility for their own actions.

Year 5 & 6 School Journey

Friday 25 May 2013

 

Update 3.00 pm

 

The children have just arrived back at school.

 

Friday 25 May 2013

The children are now back in England and are on route back to school. The expected arrival time is 3.00 pm and we are sure they will be looking forward to seeing everyone and sharing the experiences of their wonderful week abroad.

Thursday 24 May 2013

This morning everyone is on the way to Boulogne for the Town Trail.

Wednesday 23 May 2013

The children had a tremendous day at Agincourt yesterday.  They toured the battlefield and learnt how the English archers carried the day against the French.

After that they carried on to a Goats Cheese Farm, where they learnt how to make the cheese and some of them got to stroke a 1-day-old kid.

If you are wondering what to buy at the supermarket for the weekend, the children mostly liked the taste of the cheese and actually preferred the stronger version, which is matured for 4 months.

The tour of the farm was in French and the children asked their questions in French, too, which greatly impressed the farm’s owner.

In the evening, everyone went kite-flying on the beach – it was a little chilly (just like here) but very enjoyable.

Tuesday 22 May 2013

The children in Year 5 and Year 6 have had a lovely day. We visited the La Boulangerie where they made croissants and crepes.  The children then visited Etaples Military Cemetery, followed by a lovely walk around the town of  Etaples (near to Boulogne).  Then we visited the beach, where the children had an exciting time playing finding jellyfish, crabs and lots of shells. 

PS All the children have had a shower today!

Monday 20 May 2013

We are pleased to advise our Year 5 & 6 parents that the children have arrived in France. The pupils are now settled into their accommodation, Le Pre Catelan and have enjoyed their first dinner after a lovely day visiting Vimy Ridge.
