Olympic Art

The recent arrival of a digger and loader into the school was a sign that the playground project was bouncing along. The diggers are readying the court surface for artificial turf.  Fingers crossed Warrington's wonderful sports facility will be ready for our brand new sports gear and a spring opening.

BBFM radio has been beaming live from the school for the last 2 years and is having a makeover by senior students and BBFM volunteer Jo. It is moving towards a more digital presence with students establishing the systems required to run a radio, both live and over the internet. Student shows once recorded will soon be podcast, while a blog will eventually lead listeners to an online stream over the recently installed ultra fast broardband.

Our recent school visit to the art gallery and city library were a great success, students were given tours and explanations before exploring by themselves. The included Olympic themed art works, highlights the natural talents of Warrington students. 

An invitation for parents to come and have an informal discussion with myself and Ant our chairperson about the curriculum, democratic education and anything else that comes to mind. Next Thursday 7.30 at school. I will also share a tip on how parents can assist children in becoming better readers.
We might even make you a cup of tea!
