• Barnabas Day

  Mon 30 Mar 2015 Mrs Winter

  The school was visited again by Captain Graham Nunn and Hannah, for a day of thinking and learning about All About Me. The children reflected on what makes them different and unique. They linked this with their understanding of stories in the Bible and the teachings of Jesus.

   

  The day was great fun with magic tricks, singing, games, stories and lots of laughter to help the children learn.

  

• Disability Awareness Day

  Sun 22 Mar 2015 Mrs Winter

  On Friday 20th March the children were lucky enough to meet an inspirational man called John McCorkell. John was born with Cerebral Palsy.  He spent the morning at the school where he began by leading Collective Worship then ran a workshop with each class.

  John’s  focus is to run  Disability Awareness sessions which enables children to gain a better understanding of what inclusion really means. The children also have the chance to experience some of the challenges that disabled people face and ask questions of John about his life and experiences. 

  

• World Book Day

  Tue 03 Mar 2015 Mrs Burlton

  On Thursday 5^th March, High Halden CEP School held a special event to celebrate this year’s World Book Day, highlighting the joys of reading to pupils. The school is one of thousands across the UK and Ireland marking the occasion by showing how magical books can be. Special activities on the day included: dressing up as their favourite book character, book swap and a story-time session where the teachers shared their favourite books with the children.

   

  World Book Day aims to help children explore the pleasure of books and reading by providing them with the opportunity to have a book of their own. To mark the day, all of the children received a World Book Day £1  book token, which  can be exchanged for one of ten specially published World Book Day Books—including The Dinosaur that Pooped A Lot! by Tom Fletcher & Dougie Poynter, illustrated by Garry Parsons, Goth Girl and the Pirate Queen by Chris Riddell, Best Mates by Michael Morpurgo —or is redeemable against any book or audio book of their choice costing £2.99 or more at a participating bookshop.
