CounterData.comsolicitors Counter
This counter only counts visitors once so that we see the actual number of visitors to our page.
Our blog was set up, primarily, for children in school to see what others were up to when off-site. However, after only a few weeks of actually getting pictures on the site the possibilities for inspiring learning are becoming apparent.
We'd already established links with two schools in France but we are now exploring the potential of mutual blogs so that our children can comment and interact with international partners. We're receiving pictures from the arctic from one of our parents and the level of interest in geography is rising withouteven trying. The potential is immense.
It might sound like it but we're not anoraks!
BLOGGING'S GREAT FUN
and, at the same time, a fantastic educational opportunity.

Problem solving!
Nothing to do with Year 6 being at camp
and 10 others in the district to develop KIDZONE for the local District
Council.
This chap was the winning design for a character to represent an aspect of
the environment but unfortunately he doesn't have a name yet. Youngsters are
being asked to come up with something appropriate via the website.
Our children worked with Lisa Shepherd, Arts Development Officer for the
council, to create the site as part of an ICT cub at school last term. The
site is now 'live' and well worth a visit:

Year 6 at Shgborough 2010
in what was once Lord Lichfield's garden. Here you can see:
- the blindfolded leading the blindfolded
- has he got the bottle?
- crawling out of a big baked beans can?????
- coping with the indoor climbing wall before going outside on 'the real
thing'. At this point I must mention one boy who was so frightened he cried
but conquered his fears and made it to the top. A big congratulations to
you, JW!
A big thank you to Mrs Davies and Miss Davis (not related!) for taking up
the tented challenge, too, and spending a week away from home so that these
children get memories to last a lifetime.
Book Fair 2010
we would be given the equivalent amount to spend 'in kind' by taking books
from the fair. As it turned out we raised £470 and were given all
these books. Fantastic and a great addition to our school library.
Greek Day
Olympics.
Staff and children threw themselves into a variety of activities and dressed
for the part.
They looked stunning and, of course, enriched the day by creating and eating
Greek cuisine.
Let's Get Cooking
recently started our cooking club in school. The response has been superb
with the club being run by one of our grandparents supported by a parent
governor. There are also parents who come along to help each week. It's
proving to be a great success and I can honestly say that the food they
produce is tasty and healthy.
