Clockhouse Community Week

The children and the staff had a great time last week celebrating all things to do with the Community.

This included all children from Year 1 to 6 doing something to help or improve community from bag packing in Tesco to surveying the local traffic, from taking goodies to the old peoples home to looking at ways to improve our community.

The children learnt about British Values as well as our immediate school community, our local community and our wider international community. They also got to work with different children and staff from out community to learn a  new skill.
