Shirebrook Library Visits

We have been lucky enough to organise some visits to Shirebrook Library in the coming weeks.  Each class will take it in turns to visit the library, learn some library skills and have the opportunity to borrow some books.  If all goes well, each class should have three visits before the end of the school year.

If your child is not already a member of Derbyshire Libraries, they can become one in one of the following ways.

• Pupils can go to the library with their parent or guardian.  The parent or guardian would need to take with them some letter or document that has their name and address on.
• Customers can now sign up on-line at the following link https://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/leisure/libraries/using-your-library/joining/joining-the-library.aspx Their library card will be posted out to them which they should receive within 10 working days. 
• A manual registration form can be collected and returned to the school office.  We can then check your details on our system and send the forms to the library for you.

More information will be sent home in a letter nearer to the time of your child's visit but some of these methods may take a couple of weeks before the library card is delivered to you so if you want your child to register, please choose one of the methods above to get the card as soon as possible.

 

 

 

Talent in Year 6!

Art Inspired by Frida Kahlo

In Year 6, we've been finding out about the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and over the last few days we've been trying to imitate some of her work. She liked to paint portraits of herself and add lots of colour and detail to show her mood and personality. Here are a few pictures of the children at work. Can you spot the monobrow?

Next installment tomorrow! Look out for these coming home in the New Year!

Year 6 Make It Morning

Year 6 Make-It Morning

What a fantastic morning we had and the wreaths look wonderful in our classroom! I'm sure they'll make your homes look festive too when the children bring them home. Here's a few photos from the morning.

Thank you so much for coming along and joining in the festive fun! You made the morning and it was super to see so many adults!

Thank you

Mrs Bush and Mrs Carney

Whole School Poppy Project for Shirebrook Church Hall

A big thank you to all the Teachers who have encouraged their classes to make individual poppies for a whole School poppy collaboration to commemorate 'Remembrance' Sunday. The children have created the red petals from printed WW I and WW II war time images and famous wartime paintings by Paul Nash. If the children are allowed their individual black and white images have been used within the poppy centres. All the poppies have then been attached to a 'grassy' themed wall paper filling all the way across, like a field of poppies.

Our School contribution alongside other Schools from the area will be on display at the Shirebrook Church Hall on Remembrance Sunday. Hopefully, you will be able to view and appreciate the images altogether whilst remembering those that have fought for our country.
