AP1 Market Day

WOW!

What a superb morning at AP1. The culmination of so much hard work, enthusiasm, learning and entrepreneurship resulted in an absolutely wonderful and enriching experience for all. The preparation has been intense with children learning all about buying and selling from start to finish. Marketing, advertising, profits, losses, target audiences. Our students could give the contestants on 'The Apprentice' a run for their money.
This morning, children had the opportunity to be entertained by 3V's Got Talent, relax with a massage in the 3S Massage parlour, have their photo taken in the whacky photo booth by 6I, get their nails painted in 4I or their faces painted by 4N.
Games included basketball by 1I, skittles by 1V, The Hoopla by 1B and after all that perhaps a juice and snack at the cafe run by 3N or a cooling snowball by 5B.
The list of superb stalls could go on and on. Each and every class rose to the occasion and all of the staff are incredibly proud of their achievements.
Sincere thanks to John Handscombe and Andy James who were the brains behind the operation. The behind the scenes work of both and indeed all the staff ensured that our children had another memorable and rewarding learning experience here at AP1.

Calculation Workshops for parents

Tuesday and Thursday mornings saw many parents from MP1, 2 and 3 attending workshops on the use of calculations here at AP1. Many parents will agree that working at home on Maths homework can be challenging especially when trying to understand the different methods used compared to when we were at school!
As Mr Andy said, the workshops were an opportunity to 'demystify' the different strategies used and offer an insight into why and how we approach Maths the way we do.
All the presentations are available in the useful document sections of the Parents Blog and the links are also here too.

Brilliant Book Week at AP1

By hook or by crook, let's awaken a love for books....

This was certainly the case last week at AP1 where a fantastic Book Week culminated in a Dress Up Day on Friday with children and staff arriving as their favourite book characters. 

With our visiting author, Adam Bushnell, in residence children and parents were treated to fantastic stories and were inspired to pick up a book and simply read. 

Huge thanks to all the parents that went to so much trouble with costumes and that came to the wonderful parent assemblies that Adam hosted after school.
