Hot Chocolate with the Head

As you all know we are constantly striving to improve Clockhouse for your children. 

This year we are all trying our best to go 'Channel your Clockhouse Compass' in everything to ensure that our school is a fabulous place to be and the children get the best all round experience possible. Each week, the Heads of Year as well as Miss Ward, Mrs Reinecke and Mrs Savidge choose a person (child or adult) who has been seen to do this and then they get to have Hot Chocolate with Mrs Savidge!

This week the following Clockhouse Citizens have been seen to 'Channelling their Clockhouse Compass:

Nursery - Maya A for channelling her Clockhouse Compass and acting out and retelling our fairytale - The Little Red Hen.

Reception - Ronnie S (Wales) for channelling his Clockhouse Compass and showing wonderful progress with writing.

Year 1 - Millie L (France) for channelling his Clockhouse Compass by becoming more independent when completing tasks and supporting others when they need help.

Year 2 - Romaine F (USA) for channelling his Clockhouse Compass and working so well in class. He is always focussed and always achieving his task to a great ability.

Year 6 get busy combining History and Art

Year 6 had a great time putting their art skills to work when creating propaganda posters linked to their learning about World War II. They used their historical knowledge and their art skills to create some great posters.

Great job Year 6!

Year 6 take on the Imperial War Museum

Year 6 had a great time in London when they visited the Imperial War Museum to learn all about London during World War II.

This was a great compliment to their learning all about World War II which they have thoroughly immersed themselves in. The children showed themselves to be very knowledgeable during their visit whilst also learning a lot of new information.

They also proved themselves to be great Clockhouse Citizens whilst on the trip both at the museum and when on public transport. Well done Year 6!

What happens when you mix light and mirrors? Ask Year 6!

Year 6 have been very busy during their Science lessons and have been learning about light.

They had a great time when they investigates light and mirrors. Making learning exciting and memorable certainly helped them to develop their knowledge and understanding of this area of Science.
