Signing Club: This week in Signing Club we learnt a very well known Christmas song. Remembering all of the signs whilst singing isn't easy but the children all did remarkably well and we are super proud of them. We hope you enjoy the video and join in with the singing and signing. We are also excited to be sharing this video with our global partners in various countries around the world. Well done everyoneđź‘Źđź‘Źđź‘Ź ... See MoreSee Less

Young Carers: Is one of your children a Young Carer? Did you know that they might be eligible for some little treats, such as a day at the stables, or some sessions at a Holiday Club or even a free bus pass? If your child is supporting a parent or relative or a sibling with autism or challenging behaviour, and you think they deserve a special treat, could you contact the school office and we'll see what we can do to support them. Many thanks. ... See MoreSee Less

Year 2 -Forest School: As always, a busy session was had by both year 2 classes in Forest School this week. They made the most of the lovely weather to do all the activities they enjoy, including transporting wood to make dens, digging using the big spades and swinging or climbing. Some of the children built a long car ramp and were exploring if water would push the cars and make them go faster, while another group of children spent their time creating a hockey course and practicing their hockey skills. Lots of learning and great fun for both the children and adults. ... See MoreSee Less

Australia Class -Forest School: A great session was had by Year 6 Australia Class on Monday. They were set a challenge of making a free standing structure to get a ball down a gutter into a bucket. No easy feat! They had to rely on their knot tying skills as well as a lot of team work and perseverance. However they got there in the end with some super structures being completed. In the Forest School they carried on the construction theme with some elaborate dens being built, as well as some equally elaborate recipes being concocted. Some of the children also took the opportunity to learn how to use a knife safely for woodcraft and created some Santa and Grinch figures. Well done year 6 ... See MoreSee Less

Nursery -Visit to Harbour Church: This term, the Nursery children are exploring their community as part of their Young Leaders Project. On Monday, a small group walked to Harbour Church and noticed various ways people serve the community, like the doctor’s surgery, park, shops, pharmacy, buses, and more.
At the church, we found a note inviting us to explore. We looked at the decorations, searched for a Bible, and found a gold star. We listened to the Nativity story and took time to admire the beautiful decorations. We brought the gold star back to Nursery and placed it on top of our Christmas tree.
Year 2 -Art: Last week in Year , we have started our new art topic on "Still life" and we looked and discussed a variety of different artists and their work. The children had to then pick 1 of 4 images to focus on and have a go at sketching. The children looked closely at their chosen image and worked hard carefully sketching their own version. ...

World Weather Watch project 18th-22nd November: During International Education week, several classes including Forest School and the Nursery took part in the annual World Weather Watch project. Tiger Class used the Forest School to collect suitable sticks for their weather mobile. This year it was cold and frosty in Folkestone with temperatures below 10c all week! KS2 have learnt how to say what the weather is like in Spanish and will shortly be recording this to send to our partner school in Colombia. Weather Symbols, poems, sayings, pictures, kites and weather wheels have all been created and the temperature has been recorded daily at 12 noon. Our partner in Northern France even had snow! It has been cold in Moldova, Estonia, Lapland, Finland and Scotland. However, the results from partners in Colombia, Kenya, Zambia, Jamaica, the Sepilok Centre in Borneo, where our adopted Orangutan, Agop lives have all been between 23-32c. New Zealand, where a former St Mary's pupil was travelling was 16-18c most days. We still have many more results to come in from across the world. www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564666209850 DAV Public School, BRS Nagar, Ludhiana ORANGUTAN APPEAL UK... See MoreSee Less
