Over the past two years we have been working towards achieving a prestigious Artsmark Award which recognises a settings contribution towards the arts. We are delighted to announce that during half term we found out that we have been awarded an Artsmark Gold Award. The Artsmark Award is the only creative quality standard for schools, accredited by Arts Council England. It supports schools to develop and celebrate arts and cultural education, putting creativity and wellbeing at the heart of the curriculum. Artsmark ensures every young person can be creative and access a diverse, high-quality cultural education. We have seen a huge impact upon both children and staff at Captain Webb with initiatives such as Indian drumming on World Music Day as well as extra-curricular dance clubs. Here is some of the feedback we were given by the Artsmark assessors: “You clearly value the arts and recognise their contribution to supporting your pupils' emotional well-being and self-confidence.” ​ “You have used your Artsmark journey to develop children's cultural capital by commissioning various theatre groups, including Loud Mouth Theatre, Hobgoblin Theatre Company and Image Theatre Company, so that every child has enjoyed watching live performances.” ​ “Music is a growing strength within your overall arts offer with lessons provided by specialist music teachers throughout the whole school, including EYFS sessions delivered by 'Music Minors.” ​ “It is great to hear that you are beginning to develop pupil voice through your Arts Committee, and that they have relished the opportunity to work with your new partner, 'Primary Workshops' to plan and deliver Indian drumming workshops throughout the school in celebration of World Music Day.” ​ “Teachers' confidence has increased because of working alongside music specialists. They have also strengthened their fine art skills by participating in training on the use of sketch books, led by Go Sketch.” ​ “Clearly, the dance club specifically for boys was also a successful initiative, with their performance at a local theatre supporting positive learning behaviours.” Captain Webb Primary - Arts Mark Statement of Impact Captain Webb Primary - Arts Mark Statement of Commitment

Science Curriculum Statement Intent Our intent is to provide our children with an engaging, exciting, and empowering curriculum that allows them to develop as confident responsible citizens equipped with the skills that will allow them to be successful in our ever-changing world, both in the present and the future. We believe that childhood should be a happy, investigative, and enquiring time in our lives. We constantly provide enrichment opportunities (memorable experiences) to engage learners and develop their cultural capital which has been recognised as essential if children are to succeed. We believe that our children should not only reach their best academically, but also develop a thirst for knowledge, foster a love of learning and leave our school with exceptional independent learning skills. We are fully committed to developing each child's unique potential within a secure and caring environment. We use our Captain Webb Values to promote positive attitudes to learning: Listen Encourage Achieve Respect Nurture At Captain Webb, our intention is to provide a high-quality science education that provides children with the foundations they need to recognise the importance of science in every aspect of daily life. As one of the core subjects taught in primary schools, we give the teaching and learning of science the prominence and relevance it requires. Through science learning, our children have a greater awareness of the role of science in everyday life. Science at Captain Webb ignites pupils' curiosity and offers opportunities to develop their observation, questioning and reasoning skills whilst equipping them with the key knowledge and understanding of the world around them. We intend for our children to think independently and to be life-long learners who are enthused, curious and inquisitive, confident to ask ‘Big Questions’ and who are well prepared for their future in the ever-changing world. Implementation Our pupils leave Captain Webb with all the knowledge and skills required to be curious and confident scientists by embedding a curriculum that helps children foster a healthy curiosity about the world around them. Our curriculum has been planned to ensure that the knowledge children have is built upon not only each year, but each term and within every science lesson. We’ve found that this increases children’s enthusiasm for the topic whilst embedding procedural knowledge into their long-term memory. Knowledge within our science curriculum is taught through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry, and physics. These are mapped out across the year groups to ensure progression. Our knowledge-based curriculum encourages practical exploration and investigation activities, which enable our children to think and behave like scientists. Children understand how science can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse causes. Thus, our curriculum aims to enable pupils to develop enquiring minds with a range of investigative skills. Please see our science knowledge and skills grid, which shows end of year key knowledge and highlights progression through the scientific strands. Science Knowledge and Skills Grid 23.25 - BIOLOGY Science Knowledge and Skills Grid 23.25 - CHEMISTRY Science Knowledge and Skills Grid 23.25 - PHYSICS Science Knowledge and Skills Grid 23.25 - NEW SKILLS Working scientifically plays an important role in our science planning as it means that children able to obtain key scientific knowledge through practical experiences like using scientific equipment, conducting experiments, and explaining ideas confidently. Below are our BIG science questions that children have the opportunity to explore and answer throughout the year. These show children the range of scientific enquiry methods we can use to investigate scientific phenomena’s. Scientific Enquiry Science at Captain Webb is taught through blocks which supports children to develop mastery of the subject. Children working at greater depth can revisit their learning and delve deeper into the topic. At the beginning of each topic, initial assessments are completed to determine prior knowledge and ensure that progression is consistent. Children also ask 6 ‘big questions’ about their topic to inform teachers’ planning and guarantee that learning is driven by children’s interests. This further develops their enthusiasm for the topic. Our science policy highlights coverage of science unit blocks in each year group, planning and assessment tools. Science Policy 24.25 Impact As well as monitoring of attainment, the impact of effective science teaching is clear in the children’s ability to apply their knowledge to scientific enquiries. The impact of science is also evident within the opportunities we provide to develop cultural capital. We do this across the curriculum and throughout the school by: Organising events such as Science Week or STEM Week, allowing pupils to apply their knowledge and skills to cross-curricular concepts or topics Working closely with local secondary schools, thus demonstrating a love of science work and an interest in further study and work in this field Working collaboratively and practically to investigate and experiment Having butterflies and chicks to assist with real-life learning about life cycles Igniting curiosity through our memorable experiences, including the Wonderdome and Dorothy Clive Gardens Exposing children to a variety of visits where they explore animals and their habitats, including Blue Planet Aquarium, Chester Zoo, and visits from the Exotic Zoo Visiting a theme park so pupils can experience forces in a real-life context Numerous visits to the local area to widen children’s understanding of the area around them

Reading Curriculum Statement Reading Curriculum Statement Intent At Captain Webb, we value reading as a key life skill and are dedicated to enabling our pupils to become lifelong readers. We believe that the teaching of reading is integral to a child’s understanding and appreciation of the world around them. We aim to provide children with experiences that will lead to rich language development so that at the end of their primary education with us, they are empowered with a breadth of vocabulary that they can build on in their future prospects. ​ Our reading curriculum strives to foster a love for reading and we believe that that all children should experience an abundance of quality, engaging texts across the curriculum. ​ We want reading to be the golden thread running through a child’s journey at Captain Webb. When they leave us, we want pupils to possess the reading skills and love of literature which will help them to enjoy and access any aspects of learning they encounter in the future ​ Implementation ​ Through the delivery of our reading curriculum we ensure a consistent and robust teaching and learning of early reading and phonics in FS and KS1, so that pupils are able to read with increased speed and fluency and access the wider curriculum. We follow the Read, Write Inc Phonics programme; a systematic, synthetic phonics scheme that is validated by the Department for Education. For more information, please follow this link. Phonics Curriculum Once children have graduated from the RWI scheme, and are able to decode accurately and speedily, reading a lot is the principal way they develop as readers. Putting in the ‘reading miles’ allows pupils to practise their reading, building experience with increasingly complex texts, encountering new knowledge, gaining new language, including vocabulary, and developing their fluency. Over the course of year 2 and into key stage 2, the focus of the teaching of reading therefore shifts from decoding towards ensuring pupils get this print experience and support with spoken language, both through teacher-led whole class reading sessions and independent reading. Children explore a broad range of challenging texts including fiction, non-fiction and poetry by having purposeful and in-depth discussions with the teacher and their peers to enable them to access the vocabulary, themes and content. Please see the whole class reading long term overview for your year group. ​ Please also seethe whole school Knowledge and Skills Grids for Reading. Whole Class Reading Reading Knowledge and Skills 23-25 Pupils who need extra support. Keeping up from the start. To ensure identified pupils keep up, we provide extra practice, in either small groups or one-to-one tuition. The extra practice is delivered by trained phonics and reading staff. Please refer to the Phonics curriculum link to find out more information about Read Write Inc Phonics Fast Track Tutoring programme. Some pupils who have graduated from the RWI Phonics may decode accurately but struggle with reading fluency. To help develop this, pupils who are identified as needing extra support will receive additional sessions with a well-trained member of staff. Story Time All pupils receive daily story time sessions with their teacher. The pupils listen to a wide range of stories that have all been carefully selected and chosen for their year groups. To find out more about the rationale behind our reading curriculum and the exciting texts your child will be reading, please click on the whole school reading spine below. Whole School Reading Spine Reading for Pleasure Embedding a school culture that values and supports reading for pleasure is extremely important to us. To enable this, we set aside time for pupils to enjoy and read books independently, discuss texts they are reading and share recommendations. The love2read session is timetabled for all classes once a week and also sets time for pupils to visit our newly refurbished school library. The children can enjoy the freedom of enjoying texts in a tranquil, child centered environment. All classrooms have attractive book corners where the children have access to 100 quality books, both fiction, non-fiction and poetry books to help embed their love of books, stories and reading. Reading across the curriculum Pupils are also expected to read in other subjects to access new information and build their subject knowledge. This reading will also contribute to reading miles and fluency. All subject areas have a recommended text list for all year groups attached to their subject curriculum map. Poetry and Rhymes Through sharing, reading, writing and performing rhymes and poems, we aim to build children’s emotional connection to language and the world around us. Poems are used throughout our curriculum to develop vocabulary, fluency and prosody, imagination and empathy. We also encourage children to review poetry – to form opinions about their own likes and dislikes and to understand and explain their preferences and respect the thoughts and feelings of others. We are committed as a school to developing a love of reading and to reading aloud each day. Alongside our class reading texts, we have four class poetry books to be shared throughout the year. Of course, teachers can add to the core books to further develop children’s exposure and enjoyment of poetry. We have identified a core set of poems for each year group. Each year group will learn by heart poems to be performed for assembly or to be shared with parents or visitors. Children will also be encouraged to revisit poems previously learnt. Each year group will also study a varied selection of poems during guided reading lessons, where vocabulary and meaning can be explored and explained, together with the development of children’s wider reading skills. Poetry also forms part of our writing curriculum and each year group has different forms of poetry to explore and create. This allows children the opportunity to learn more about particular structures of poetry and allows them to write their own poems using a wide range of poetic devices. Children are encouraged to perform their own poetry alongside the poems learnt by their year group. We also seek opportunities throughout the year for children to watch or hear poets reciting and discussing their own work. ​ Please see our Poetry Curriculum Poetry Curriculum How do we enrich the curriculum? Book recommendation boards are displayed throughout school to inform pupils are new and popular texts across the age ranges. The children are given the opportunity to loan these books from Mrs Passey and write reviews on these books for our school newsletter. At Captain Webb, we also have a range of opportunities within the academic year to further enhance reading opportunities for our children. Regular trips to the local library, engaging with national reading events including World Book Day, Roald Dahl Day and National Poetry day. Each year we invite external theatre companies into school to deliver whole school productions and drama workshops for our pupils, recent examples of which are Christmas Carol and Jack and the Beanstalk. We have also had Dance workshops based on 'Bringing Books to Life'. Year 3 story focus was Charlie and the chocolate factory, Year 4 focus was Alice in Wonderland and Year 5 focus was The Jungle Book. How can you help your child? EYFS and KS1 To support their reading journey your child will bring different sorts of books home from school. When your child is in the early stages of learning to read you can help by encouraging them to sound out the letters in words and then to ‘blend’ the sounds together to make a whole word. Please refer to the Phonics Curriculum page on the school website for further information. Sometimes your child might bring home a picture book that they know well, encourage your child to tell you the story out loud; ask them questions about things that happen or what they think about some of the characters in the story. We assess the children’s’ progress regularly and send home books that are matched to their ability. KS2 All pupils in KS2 will bring home a copy of their guided reading text to read at home. The class teacher will provide information in regards to homework expectations for reading the guided reading text. E.g. We would like you to read chapters 1 – 3 tonight. We also encourage all pupils to loan books from our school library to enjoy at home. The school’s Homework Policy states that all children are expected to read at home every day. This is for a maximum of 10 minutes. Reading regularly at home helps to develop children’s reading skills. Making the time to talk to your children about the books they choose and listening to them reading aloud regularly can make all the difference. Children need to understand why we read. They need to experience the range of feelings that a book can create or the power that can be gained from accessing information. Reading must not only be confined to stories. Many children love reading comics, magazines, newspapers, information books and poetry. All of these reading activities should be encouraged. Children in Key Stage 2 will all be at very different stages of development, but even for the most fluent readers there is a need for parental support. Most parents or carers are able to create quality time to share a book individually with one child. This is the time when children can develop a much deeper understanding of the books that they are reading. Rather than reading at home being ‘reading practice’, it should extend and enrich the reading experiences of school. One of the most powerful ways in which parents can do this is to show real enthusiasm themselves. Your sense of excitement about books and stories, your anticipation about what will happen next in a story and a discussion about your own likes and dislikes, will greatly influence your child. Teachers will check the Home School Reading Record daily and record for our end of term reading rewards including books, book vouchers or an author visit . Impact By the time children leave Captain Webb, they are competent readers who can recommend books to their peers, have a thirst for reading a range of genres including poetry, and participate in discussions about books, including evaluating an author’s use of language and the impact this can have on the reader. They can also read books to enhance their knowledge and understanding of all subjects on the curriculum, and communicate their research to a wider audience. ‘I go to Phonics every day to learn my sounds. I can now read words and I’ve just moved to Yellow phonics books.’ – Year 1 pupil. ‘I’ve read many books since I’ve been at Captain Webb. Some of my favourite texts are Stig of the Dump by Clive King, Harry Potter by JK Rowling and Street Child by Berlie Doherty.’ –Year 6 pupil. ‘This year, I’ve enjoyed reading lots of different non-fiction texts. I’m currently reading a non-fiction text on the heart and circulatory system which has helped me answer questions in Science.’ Year 5 pupil. Attainment in reading is measured using statutory assessments such as the end of EYFS and Key Stage 2 and following the outcomes in the Year 1 Phonics Screening check. Additionally, we track our own reading attainment through the use of RWI half termly and screening assessments, SALFORD Reading Assessments and ongoing teacher assessment. Assessment data shows that.. 82% of children passed the Year 1 Phonics Screening check in 2023. 75% reached ARE at KS1 with 27% reaching greater depth. 78% reached ARE at KS1 with 18% reaching greater depth. The impact of this implementation was also noted in our 2019 OFSTED: The teaching of reading is done very well. Staff are trained in how to teach phonics and daily routines and systems make sure everyone gets what they need. Whether reading in class or at home, staff check that pupils have books they understand. If any pupil needs a helping hand, adults find extra time straight away and this stops them from falling behind. As pupils’ confidence grows, teachers introduce them to new books and authors. Most days, teachers read to the class during ‘page-turner time’. They encourage pupils to talk about books and share their views.

Early Help at Captain Webb At Captain Webb Primary we recognise the challenges that families face in bringing up children. Everyone needs help at some point in their lives and therefore an ethos of early help is important for any school. There maybe times when you need extra help, support or advice. If this is the case please come and talk to us, we are here to help. ​ Children, young people and families develop resilience if there are protective factors in place such as: a positive relationship with an adult, good literacy and communication skills, good school attendance and parents in or actively seeking work. Children's needs are best met when help is offered in a universal setting within a socially mixed group and early on when problems start to emerge. ​ Children and young people’s needs are best met when addressed in the context of the whole family, meaning that parents/carers and siblings needs are addressed, with consent, as part of a holistic and integrated early help response. ​ Early help services should support and strengthen families, so that they can thrive. How can I access Early Help at captain Webb? ​ Your class teacher is your first point of contact for any issues or concerns. Teachers are responsible for the well being of all the children in their class and will liaise and signpost to other staff members as required. ​ Our early help assessment lead at Captain Webb Primary is Mrs Gemma Boden. Mrs Boden is contactable by email or phone. ​ Email: gemma.boden@taw.org.uk or by calling the main school office on 01952 386 770. ​ Heading 1

Sécurité en ligne Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE) Child Criminal Exploitation occurs where an individual or group takes advantage of an imbalance of power to coerce, control, manipulate or deceive a child or young person under the age of 18. The victim may have been criminally exploited even if the activity appears consensual. Child Criminal Exploitation does not always involve physical contact; it can also occur through the use of technology. Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) Child Sexual Exploitation is a type of sexual abuse. When a child or young person is exploited they're given things, like gifts, drugs, money, status and affection, in exchange for performing sexual activities. Children and young people are often tricked into believing they're in a loving and consensual relationship. This is called grooming. They may trust their abuser and not understand that they're being abused. Sometimes abusers use violence and intimidation to frighten or force a child or young person, making them feel as if they've no choice. Anybody can be a perpetrator of CSE, no matter their age, gender or race. The relationship could be framed as friendship, someone to look up to or romantic. Children and young people who are exploited may also be used to 'find' or coerce others to join groups. ​ Technology is very often used to groom victims. ​ This may occur through mobile phones with internet access, social networking sites e.g. TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram etc. and via games consoles that connect to the internet e.g. Playstation or Xbox. ​ Signs that someone may be a victim of CCE or CSE: Frequently absent from and doing badly in school. Going missing from home, staying out late and travelling for unexplained reasons. In a relationship or hanging out with someone older than them. Being angry, aggressive or violent. Being isolated or withdrawn. Having unexplained money and buying new things. Wearing clothes or accessories in gang colours or getting tattoos. Using new slang words. Spending more time on social media and being secretive about time online. Making more calls or sending more texts, possibly on a new phone or phones. Self-harming and feeling emotionally unwell. Taking drugs and abusing alcohol. Committing petty crimes like shop lifting or vandalism. Unexplained injuries and refusing to seek medical help. Carrying weap ons or having a dangerous breed of dog. ​ Support/Resources ​ PACE (Parents Against Child Sexual Exploitation) is a national charity that works with parents and carers whose children are sexually exploited. PACE offers one-to-one telephone support, national and local meet-ups with other affected parents and information on how parents can work in partnership with school, police and social care. The NSPCC has been campaigning to raise the profile of this form of child abuse. Share Aware : Help your child stay safe on social networks, apps and games.

Our School Governing Body What do our school governors do? ​ Governors are volunteers who are responsible for overseeing the management side of a school: strategy, policy, budgeting and staffing. They enable our school to run as effectively as possible, working alongside senior leaders and supporting teachers to provide excellent education to children. Being a school governor is a commitment to attending governing body meetings which consider issues such as setting the school vision, mitigating financial risk and scrutinising educational outcomes. They are also involved in our school community, acting as critical friends to the headteacher and senior leaders. Governors bring a wide range of skills and expertise from their professional lives to the governing board and we benefit greatly from working with these skilled volunteers, for example some of our governors have experience of finance, safeguarding, school management and human resources. A governor with business know-how can transform the running of a school. ​ Core governor responsibilities Setting the strategic direction Governing bodies are the key strategic decision makers in every school. Along with the Head Teacher, it is the job of our governing body to set the school’s aims and objectives around how the school will develop and improve. They set the policies, formulate plans and agree targets to help our school achieve these objectives, as well as regularly reviewing their strategic framework in light of that progress. Creating robust accountability The governing body is there to support and challenge our school’s senior leadership team. They play a crucial role in holding our Head Teacher to account for securing the best possible outcomes for our pupils. By challenging key decisions and asking pertinent questions about the school’s performance data, our governors aim to guarantee high standards in education. Ensuring financial probity Governing bodies have a strategic role in the financial management of schools. Their key responsibilities include, setting financial priorities through the school development plan, 3 year financial plan and the annual budget. They also decide on how our school’s delegated budget should be spent in accordance with the school improvement plan and statutory curriculum requirement. ​ How does our Governing Body work? ​ Governing body meetings We hold full governing body meetings twice a term (we no longer have separate committees). We send out all the supporting documentation a week prior to these meeting to allow Governors to have time to read and familiarise themselves with the paperwork. It also gives them time to raise any questions they might have, and challenge the information provided. Whilst there are many important aspects of the role of a governor, the most important is the business that takes place at these meetings. School visits Our Governing body is responsible for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of our school and its curriculum. School visits help our governors to understand more about the school and the reality of school life. Governor visits to classrooms are not a form of inspection but serve as a clear monitoring function on the implementation of the school’s strategic planning. Governor visits are encouraged. ​ Link Governors ​ The Headteacher, with the support of her leadership team, draft a school development plan (every September). This document examines all the areas in the school, which require additional focus, to ensure the best possible outcomes for all the children. The development plan is created from children's progress data, reviews by the School Improvement Partner, the Ofsted report, and general observance of the school in action. The Governors have the responsibility of ensuring this plan is effectively targeted, and that the school performs the actions that are needed. To help the full governing body with this duty each governor is assigned a role linked specifically to each area of the development plan, and it is this Link Governors duty to report back their observations and findings to the full governors. A copy of the development plan can be found here . ​ Our current Link governors are: ​ Safeguarding J Kiernan Prevent J Kiernan Online Safety (including filtering and monitoring) J Kiernan SEND L Hough Pupil Premium L Hough Attendance L Hough & A Farley Curriculum - Behaviour R Harris Curriculum - Maths J Kiernan Curriculum - English A Farley Curriculum - EAL A Farley Curriculum - Science M Chetwood Curriculum – Higher Attainers L Hough ​ Below are several documents detailing who are governors are, how they were elected and the duration of their service, the code of conduct which they must follow, the rules of the meetings and decision making processes, and the dates the meetings will be held.

Expériences mémorables Offrir aux enfants des « expériences mémorables » significatives est un ingrédient clé de l'apprentissage à l'école primaire Captain Webb. Au début de chaque thème semestriel, chaque promotion part soit en visite, soit en journée thématique animée par un expert du domaine. Cela permet aux enfants de faire l'expérience, de première main, d'éléments importants pour chaque domaine d'apprentissage thématique; entendre et utiliser le vocabulaire clé ; contextualiser leur écriture et leurs mathématiques et développer une solide compréhension des concepts historiques, géographiques ou scientifiques pertinents. Nous offrons également à nos enfants de nombreuses opportunités d'apprentissage en plein air grâce à des visites d'une journée et résidentielles au Arthog Outreach Centre au Pays de Galles et à un voyage résidentiel en France en sixième année! Notre objectif est de garantir que (en visitant des musées locaux et régionaux et des sites d'intérêt historique et géographique) les enfants quittent notre école à la fin de l'étape clé 2 avec un capital culturel et une profonde appréciation d'où ils viennent. ​ Un enfant qui passe ses années d'école primaire à l'école primaire Captain Webb aura vécu deux journées thématiques dirigées par un enseignant à l'école ; a fait quatre voyages dans la communauté locale; visité cinq sites d'intérêt local; appris de quatorze experts dans leur domaine; visité huit points de repère géographiques et historiques et expérimente des artefacts et des expositions de neuf musées différents ! La réception a fait l'expérience d'une gamme d'animaux exotiques dans le cadre de leur sujet sur « Que se passe-t-il lorsque nous nous endormons ? L'année 2, visitez Park Hall Farm au début de leur sujet « Muck, mess and Mixtures » L'année 4 a construit un tipi le « Native American Day » pendant le thème « Road Trip USA » et a visité le Langley Science Department pendant leur thème « Potions ». L'année 5 a fait l'expérience d'être Tudors lors d'un atelier sur leur sujet « Off with Her Head ! » L'année 6 a visité le Birmingham Sea Life Centre dans le cadre de leur sujet « Frozen Kingdom ». Voici ce que notre conseil des élèves a à dire sur les expériences mémorables de l'école primaire Captain Webb : ​ Qu'est-ce qu'une expérience mémorable ? ​ « Quand nous avons des visiteurs experts ou lorsque nous faisons des voyages dont nous allons nous souvenir » Pourquoi faisons-nous des expériences mémorables ? Pour passer un bon moment et se souvenir de ces expériences pour toujours - même lorsque nous sommes plus âgés Pour vous aider dans votre apprentissage - pour voir les choses dans la vraie vie Pour nous aider dans notre écriture – afin que nous sachions sur quoi nous écrivons. Cela le rend réel pour nous. Vous pouvez imaginer les choses plus clairement lorsque vous les apprenez. Pour nous aider avec tous les autres sujets aussi. Ils mettent le vocabulaire dans des situations de la vie réelle. Parfois, nous l'utilisons pour faire des travaux contextuels en mathématiques. L'année dernière, nous sommes allés au zoo de Chester et nous avons pu concevoir le nouveau parc lorsque nous en apprenions davantage sur la région. Nous pouvons passer un bon moment et nous souvenir des bons moments passés dans notre école. Lorsqu'un expert intervient, il peut nous aider. Ils nous aident à apprendre. Si vous allez dans un musée, vous ne pouvez pas poser de questions sur les objets… mais vous pouvez les poser à un visiteur expert ! Les expériences mémorables vous aident-elles dans votre apprentissage ? Oui... surtout en écriture, maths, thème, sciences, lecture, histoire, géographie et RE (quand on va à l'église) « Si nous ne faisions plus d'expériences mémorables, nous ne verrions pas les choses dans la vraie vie et cela affecterait notre apprentissage. L'école serait loin d'être aussi bonne. Selon vous, quelle a été votre meilleure expérience mémorable jusqu'à présent ? ​ West Midlands Safari Park parce que nous avons pu faire des manèges qui ont aidé à notre écriture narrative qui se déroulait dans un parc à thème. Western Park parce que nous fabriquions des jouets et que nous apprenions les jouets. Park Hall Farm parce que j'ai pu voir tous les animaux sur lesquels nous apprenions. Le spectacle Golden Ticket parce qu'on a vu un clown. Voir un scientifique disséquer un cœur parce que cela nous a montré à quoi ressemblaient toutes les chambres du cœur. Pizza Express parce que nous devons faire une pizza ! Nous sommes allés dans une ferme et c'était super parce que nous avons pu voir une course de cochons. Inoubliable! Faire un vrai tipi quand nous apprenions à connaître les Amérindiens parce que nous avons vécu comment ils vivaient vraiment. Stone Age Center parce que nous avons dû utiliser du vrai charbon de bois pour faire des œuvres d'art, tout comme les gens de l'âge de pierre. ​ ​
