Educational Visits are a really important aspect of our approach to learning and we see them as fundamental to the delivery of an effective and inclusive curriculum.
We use Educational Visits so that our pupils have the right kind of stimuli that will lead them on to exploring the connected ideas and knowledge arising out of the visit. It also ensures that they are able to learn in a range of ways and places and with a diverse variety of other individuals and groups.
The visits that we plan are influenced by the curriculum subject area being studied and the key questions asked. They will change from year to year, so no child experiences the same visit twice.
Parents are encouraged to support the educational visit and to take part in activities which follow up that first point of stimulus.
Our pupils take part in Development Days and Find Out Fridays throughout the year and are also involved in a Development Week toward the end of the academic year.
Our Development days allow pupils to take part in workshops or events that will complement the curriculum:
- Lab Rascals Light Project
- Magical Memory – storytelling workshop
- French Breakfast – part of the French Language Theme Week in summer 2016
- Toys from the Past – Grandparents’ visit
- Chicken and Egg investigation
- Fire engine visit
- Police Officer visit and workshop
Our children experience a wide range of activities, topics, games and investigations during their school day and hopefully come home full of exciting news and ready for a well-earned rest! Some of our children will already attend building Bricks @ Hunsley Primary on a regular basis too.
The clubs we offer allow for developing teamwork, skills and wider interests, often led by suggestions from the children themselves:
Clubs are demand-led and we aim to enable all children to take part in their desired activity where possible.
