Clatford School perform at the O2
Sun 22 Jan 2017What an amazing day. The children left school at 10am and travelled all the way to the stunning O2. They joined with choirs from all over the country in a marathon singing rehearsal session in the afternoon before an incredible performance in the evening. A long day that I think all of the staff and children will remember for a very long time.

Journey
Thu 19 Jan 2017Children in Year 5 have been doing some writing based on a picture book by Aaron Becker called Journey. They have explored pictures using drama, language, code and even music and sounds. Eventually they produced their own interactive journey experiences using scratch (developing their knowledge of using random number generators) and were able to develop their narrative writing skills through their use of figurative language in letters and story openings.

Clatford School hosts Schools Direct ICT Training
Fri 06 Jan 2017Today, our school was joined by 30 teaching students from the Anton Andover Alliance where they were given opportunities to see the different ways that primary aged children can develop their ICT skills. They talked to Malaysian teaching students using google hangouts; programmed life-sized robots; participated in 'hour of code'; were given tours of the school; played programmable board games; developed their understanding of the national computing requirements and were able to develop their knowledge of the Scratch programming language.
For most of the day they were helped by our talented Year 6s who were their teachers for many of the activities and supported them all day as part of the training. Many teaching students commented on the way out about how confident, polite, intelligent and well spoken the children were that had helped them were. A rewarding day for everyone.
