• History Day

  Tue 29 Nov 2022 Mrs Howell

  We had a wonderful time on our History Day. The costumes were fabulous! We had toy timelines, a museum set up in class, Viking jewellery design and creation, hieroglyphic messages and name cards, and work with clay.

  

• Ambergate Wireworks Exhibition

  Mon 14 Nov 2022 Mrs Howell

  On Thursday 10th November, we were really lucky to welcome back Lise Bennett and Heidi Luker who previously led our community wireworks project. 

   

  Lise and Heidi brought their exhibition, Ambergate Wireworks - The part they played, to school and led a whole school assembly. The children had the opportunity to explore the exhibition in small groups and parents were invited to join in at the end of the school day. The pieces in the exhibition were stunning.

  

• Poppy Art Project with East Midlands Railway

  Mon 14 Nov 2022 Mrs Howell

  In October, our Year 6 children were invited to work with Mel Langton to create artwork for the Poppy Art Project with East Midlands Railway.
  
  Mel worked with with 8 different community groups and schools to create 8 individual pieces of artwork, which were then used to create one large piece of artwork. Copies of the individual pieces of work have gone on display at the station nearest the school/group (Ambergate) and two copies of the large piece have been put up at Derby and Nottingham for Remembrance Day in November.
  
  It looks absolutely fantastic!
