Is your child starting school in September 2016?

 Why not come along to one of our Reception open days

As part of the Council of Europe’s language celebration day on Saturday 26th September, Conway celebrated the many different languages and cultures within the school on the Friday (25th September). Each year group explored a particular language and culture through a native story book from the chosen country. The children had the opportunity to discuss the language/s they speak at home and discuss similarities and differences between how the languages look and sound. The children then had the opportunity to listen to and join in with the cultural story, both in original text and English translations. Many activities were completed as part of the day to extend the children’s intercultural understanding, including; story retellings, drama and role play, character journey maps and art work. 

Conway Primary School has been identified as one of the most improved schools in the country in terms of the attainment and progress of disadvantaged since 2011.

Years 3,4 and 5 will have the exciting opportunity of learning circus skills within a circus workshop. The day will consist of icebreakers and will contribute to providing students with team building skills. 

We hope you have had a fantastic school holiday. Please note that children are to return to school on Wednesday 2nd September as there is a staff INSET day on Tuesday 1st September. 

Last week, children in Year 3, 4 and 6, along with Miss Proctor, Miss Barham, Mr Hindmarsh and Miss Lancaster, had the opportunity to participate in our most exciting school trip of the year – a residential visit to the Townsend centre at Swanage in Dorset!
