Classes 1 and 2 have once again visited the library this term and watched a puppet show too called 'We talked about acorns'. We had some lovely feedback from the library outreach project officer.
"We are so pleased to here that you all had a lovely time. We thought the children were all so well behaved, polite and very funny too! 🤣
We are always excited when Waberthwaite come to Millom Library and we hope to see you all soon. 😊

Makaton
This morning we had a "sing and sign" assembly with local Makaton tutor, Karen Baxter. We learnt that Makaton includes symbols, signs and speech to enable people to communicate. We were able to sing and sign: 'The Big Ship Sails' and 'A Sky Full of Stars'.
Even Mrs J came out the kitchen to say how amazing you all were!
Skills Blox
For the whole of 2022-23, Years 2-6 have been working with the Primary Business Partnership on Skills Blox. This is a programme developed to raise aspirations of children and to increase self-awareness of their own talents, skills and interests and how these can be harnessed into their future careers. The children have worked in face-to face workshops with adults from a wide range of professions through the year including: police, police dog handlers, local councilors, physiotherapists, fire service, butchers, entrepreneurs, scientists, computer programmers, project managers and Sellafield nuclear police... the list goes on! The children have reflected on their learning at each step and their own skills and professions they may wish to explore.
If you have any further queries, you can contact our school administrator, Mrs Yvonne Hey, in a number of ways.
