Nightingale Primary School Blog

What a fantastic week it has been!  All children have taken part in their assessments this week.  I have been so impressed at how focused they have been.  Lots of children have been sent to see me because they have made great progress!  I will be writing to those families where children have made greater progress than we would expect.

I have also seen some fantastic learning taking place.

This was a great piece of learning from Team Gardner.  They were looking at cubist art to identify different types of angles.  I think it is brilliant when teachers make links like this to support the children's understanding.

I also need to say how proud I am of the staff at Nightingale.  On Sunday 16th March, many members of staff took part in the 'Where's Wally?' fun run to raise money for The Literacy Trust.

It was a fantastic day, with a brilliant sun warming us as we ran around Victoria Park. Congratulations to Mr Smith and Mrs Beach who ran 5 km in 26 minutes!  I managed to wheeze my way around in 37 minutes!  

I think Nightingale is a pretty fantastic place to work.  It is a pleasure to come here everyday.  What do you think is the best thing about Nightingale?  Why not post your comments below?
