It’s been a busy and productive start to this final half term. On Monday, Year 2 visited Wheal Martyn to enhance their learning in history. Year 4 began their multiplication check having demonstrated this to parents in their recent Year Group Assembly. On Tuesday, Year 5 parents and children were invited to find out more about their upcoming residential. Then on Wednesday amongst the school photos, we welcomed prospective parents to our wonderful Nursery for an open afternoon. During our INSET day today, we joined other teachers from across all Trust schools at Brunel Primary Academy in Saltash. The focus of the day was an exciting introduction to the online platforms of Showbie, Explain Everything and Socrative and how these can be used to enhance teaching and learning. Next week is equally enriching; do take a look at the many dates coming up on the Events page.
