Today, we have finished out whole school art project with Jordanna. We are so pleased with the final result.

Each child has created a model using silk clay. These have then be glued onto a piece of art work created by Jordanna.

We can't wait to put it on display in school.

Thank you, Jordanna. ❤️

This week we have been focusing on Remembrance day. 

The children have looked at the work of Jacqueline Hurley and created a display inspired by her work.

Today, we have had a Remembrance assembly and a 2 minutes silence at 11am.

The children have also enjoyed a Remembrance themed lunch.

Liam, from Excel Martial Arts, joined us in assembly today to launch next week's anti-bullying week. He spoke to the children about confidence and ways to handle bullying.

To start Anti-bullying week, we are going to wear odd socks on Monday 13th November. On Wednesday, each class will take part in a Anti-bullying workshop with Derbyshire Police.

Today, we have said good bye and good luck to Mr Turner and Mrs Gregg. As you all know, Mr Turner is starting his retirement and Mrs Gregg is relocating to Scotland to start a new adventure.

We wish them both all the best and a warm Killamarsh goodbye. Thank you for all your hard work.

Thank you for everyone who donated for the shoebox appeal. They have been collected and will be happily received by a child this Christmas,

Thanks

Today, we had a visit from PC Graham and PCSO Stevenson from Derbyshire police. They talked to the children about Halloween, Bonfire and Anti-social behaviour. One lucky child from each class was selected to take home a goody bag.

Thank you PC Graham and PCSO Stevenson we really enjoyed your visit and learnt a lot.

As part of British Science Week, Miss Gelder from Wales High School created a video lesson for us. She choose the activity BRIDGE BLUNDER from the Primary Activity British Science Week pack. This activity was designed to get children thinking about the connections between weights, forces and measures.

We also entered the BSW poster competition around the theme CONNECTIONS. We selected 5 winners who were presented with a Science pin badge. Their entries have been submitted on the BSW Website. Good luck!

Sorry but heavy snow has led to school closing today. We hope children can enjoy the rare opportunity to play in the snow and after that they can read and do their homework :-)

We have been visited today by a past pupil and her colleagues from Sheffield Hallam University. They are training as child nurses and are taking part in a community project to promote healthy lifestyles. 

We learnt about the role of a children's nurse, the use of ABCDE to check a casualty and how to put someone into the recovery position.

We would like to thank them for taking the time to speak to our children. Thank you!
