• Geography Fieldwork Day

  Thu 25 Jan 2024 Mrs Howell

  We've had a super day exploring our local environment and practising our fieldwork skills. We have made sound maps, observed human and physical features, practised our compass skills, identified different leaves, collected traffic data and used transects to study ground use.

  

• Challenge Morning

  Tue 09 Jan 2024 Mrs Howell

  We've had a super start to the term introducing our new learning behaviour character, Curious Cat.
  
  As it is our Geography focus this term, we decided to give our challenge day a Geography theme. The children worked in mixed teams from Reception through to Year 6 to present information about a country. They could choose how they wanted to present it and what they wanted to find out. At the end of the morning, we all had the opportunity to share what had been produced.
  
  The children were absolutely fantastic!

  

• Trip to the Ritz

  Wed 20 Dec 2023 Mrs Howell

  We had a fabulous time watching The Grinch at the Ritz this morning. We want to say a huge thank you to the train staff who supported us and to the staff at the Ritz who always make us feel so welcome.
  
  We also had a lovely surprise when we returned as Ambergate Methodist Church had left an angel for each child attached to our railings.
  
  What a lovely day!

• Gardening

  A huge thank you to Mrs Oakley who has started some planting with the children. Each group will have their own bed to plant over the next few weeks. Year 3/4 started theirs this morning.

  

• Challenge Morning

  Mon 06 Nov 2023 Mrs Howell

  We've had an amazing first morning back!
  
  Our new building learning power character is Strategic Owl so we are thinking about how we learn best, the resources we need to learn and planning. We are really promoting the children taking ownership of their learning and striving to be resilient in all aspects of their lives.
  
  To launch our new character, we've had a challenge morning. All the children were divided up into mixed groups from Reception through to Year 6 and asked to design and make a newspaper outfit for our fashion show. The results were amazing! The children were fabulous, worked brilliantly in their teams and were very well supported by their Year 6 team leader.
  
  I am really proud of our Ambergate Team.
