Happy New Year to all families in our schools’ community. Here are some activity ideas for you to do with your children this weekend.
Poetry Masterclass at the Black Cultural Archives
Last week 24 young poets joined Adisa the Verbaliser at the Black Cultural Archives’ beautifully renovated and extended Georgian building in Windrush Square to explore the rich heritage of of African and Caribbean men and women who have impacted on British society. Children from Christ Church, Loughborough, Stockwell and Jessop Primary schools worked together to produce poetry together – all in a 2 hour inspiring morning. One young poet commented" I wish I could put Adisa in my bag and take him back to school"!

BLC Task Force Presentations
members of staff from the BLC have been working together for the last 6 weeks on 2 specific topics in order to share practice, take part in peer evaluation and impact positively across the cluster schools. The staff looked at Marking and Feedback and Providing Challenge in Literacy and Communication across the Phases. The presentations of the teachers’ work is summarised here. The staff taking part reporting it was very useful to work together and visit each other’s settings. Similar work is planned going forward as well as dissemination of the work across the cluster.
EYFS staff forum – outdoor learning
Last week staff from our schools came together for a session focussed on Outdoor Learning activities for children, led by Jules Rogers at Christ Church Primary SW9. As the light was fading outside, staff took the opportunity to go outside onto the roof garden at Christ Church and get started with a hands on activity to light a small fire with a flint and cotton wool on a sandtray – something possible for children as young as 4 or 5 to do with simple clear instruction. Staff also have the opportunity to meet the Aylesbury ducks that live there! The session went on to give staff lots of ideas of ways to get children learning outdoors in all weathers, enjoying and benefiting from the fresh air and freedom this gives everyone. The staff hope to carry on this area of training in 2015 (after the clocks change!).
