Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Many thanks to Bobby and Peter Burrow from POSH for visiting in our school. We had a great time in assembly and won free tickets to both a mens and a womens game.
Many thanks to the Charles Read school for delivering a Hello Yellow assembly to our school. A great start to our hello Yellow day. The children then completed a range of activities including planting daffodils, taking part in a yoga session and designing our own worry balls.
This week, as part of the curriculum, the children have taken part in two workshops: Being Safe Online and Substance Awareness. They learned about how to stay safe when using the internet, using social media in the future (13+) and what is appropriate to share with others. When learning about substance misuse, the children discussed legal and illegal substances such as caffeine, alcohol and Nitrous Oxide (commonly known as laughing gas). They had some very mature conversations making all of the adults very proud.
The yr3s and 4s had a fantastic time at Kesteven rugby club learning the skills of rugby through a variety of games and drills. They finished the afternoon off playing a tag rugby match.
This week is Dyslexia Awareness Week which takes place between 03-09 October 2022. The theme this year 'Breaking through barriers' links with some of the work we are doing in school to overcome our obstacles, embrace our talents and be provided with the skills and tools so everyone can be a successful learner.
For further help with dyslexia follow the link below. We will also be updating further support on our school website. https://www.bdadyslexia.org.uk/.../dyslexia-awareness....
Thank you for all the kind donations for Harvest. We cannot wait to welcome our families and community to our Harvest festival. Join us today at St Johns Church Corby Glen at 2pm.
At CGCPS we are proud to have a diverse curriculum and we have worked hard to embed Black History and representation across the school, throughout the year. However, we also appreciate the significance of marking and celebrating this month (October) by sharing some of our plans for this year’s Black History Month!
We will be learning about the experience of significant Black British figures and the impact they have on our society in our weekly assemblies and in class.
Each class will focus on a key individual, and map their background, achievements and impact on the UK.
By the end, the children would have developed their knowledge around the abundance of differences that make up our rich culture in England. They’ll also be able to detail exactly where those influences originated.
If you would also like to support your child further I have attached some links below.
