Fun and games at Curriculum and Standards Committee

Our meeting on Friday was packed full of interesting and exciting stuff. Miss Worsley presented her review of attainment data which showed just how much progress our children have made. The future looks bright with the promise of even greater progress and achievement. No time to stop and congratulate ourselves: the New Curriculum will be implemented in September 2014 and the staff are busy preparing for this.  Miss Williams gave us a very interesting report on the new curriculum subject Computing. Her schedule is detailed and challenging, covering the school year and all year groups. In the Autumn Nursery and Reception will be detectives, in Spring they will be journalists, in the Summer, TV chefs and astronauts! In all these activities they will be learning skills which will enable them to build a thorough understanding of what can be done with technology. And it looks like fun too!
Right through the school Miss Williams has devised interesting and challenging ways for the children to use and interact with computers and technology.
PE is another of Miss Willliams' responsibilities. We were presented with an exciting program of the games and activities offered through the school year. Football, Hockey, Netball, Tennis, Rounders, and much more. Dance, Gymnastics, Orienteering, Swimming and Athletics. We were also told of other exciting possibilities. Miss Williams did not tap dance on the table (as she hinted she might) but her report was inspirational and was quite exciting enough for one afternoon.....
