Rainbow Fish
P2/1 read Rainbow Fish. P2s have been learning to describe characters using adjectives. The P1s had a go at describing the rainbow fish too. All the children made their own rainbow fish.

Elmer in P2/1
P2/1 learned the word unique when reading Elmer. Elmer is unique because he is a colourful patchwork elephant. The children made their own patchwork elephants and wrote about Elmer.

We are also looking for donations for our tombola stall. As such we would be extremely grateful for any donations of wine/alcohol, non-alcoholic drinks and gift items such as toiletries. Please ensure any alcohol or glass bottles are brought to the school office by an adult.

Comments Off on Our Curriculum Rationale
Our Curriculum Rationale
What is a Curriculum Rationale?
When a school has a rationale for its curriculum, it means that everyone involved with the school can answer the questions ‘What is it we want for these children?’ and ‘What are we going to do to achieve it?’
Why is a Curriculum Rationale necessary?
It is important to ensure that everyone within the school is clear about what they are aiming to achieve through the curriculum, which is the totality of a child’s experiences.
Please click on the link below to access our Curriculum Rationale.

Hillington Primary Parent Council
Every parent/guardian becomes a member of the Parent Forum whenever their child starts school, enabling parents to get involved in school life in whatever way they can. This could be helping on trips, at discos, assisting during the school day or as a representative on the Parent Council.
Parent Councils can:
- provide a voice for parents, in schools and in their local authority, on issues that are important to them and their children
- help the school to understand how to most effectively involve parents in their children’s learning and in the life of the school
- support the school and Headteacher in developing strong home/school partnerships
- support the school in its development and improvement, and in understanding and making links with the wider community
- capture the unique and varied skills, interests, knowledge and experience that parents can offer.
Please feel free to contact our Parent Council using the email address outlined above. Please also keep a look out for our new Parent Council Twitter page coming soon.
