Thank you so much to parents that have helped us manage our school closure. The children were able to deal with it as well as we could hope for.
We will try to keep the Facebook page busy with suggestions for activities but we are aware that is no substitute for the time they would have spent in school.
Thanks also go to staff whose calm caring response has kept the pupils safe and school for as long as possible.
As soon as we have news about opening dates we will share that with you.
We hope you all stay safe and well.
Morning
You will obviously have heard the Government update around school closures. We will be in touch if there are any changes for us.
At present we remain closed for all activities.
Thank you
Today some students from KS3 &4 had a great time practising their tennis skills with Ross playing accessible tennis. During the session they developed and practiced different skills. Well done everyone for fantastic effort and great sportsmanship.

Once a fortnight school council meet to discuss school issues they feel are important as well as wider issues such as climate change and carrying out a beach clean in the warmer months.
On Friday 28th February some of the school council held their Council meeting at the magnificent Jarrow Hall. School Council members really enjoyed holding their meeting in a different venue and are now planning where they would like to hold a special meeting in the summer term.
Keelman’s Way celebrated World Book Day by dressing as their favourite book character or coming dressed as an adjective. For example, clever, tired.
Pupil’s made a fantastic effort and had great fun…
Post 16:1 have been recapping on the importance of staying safe when using the internet.
One of the benefits of working and communicating online is the ability to share information with others, but children (and adults) need to be careful about what they share and with whom.
Ideally we don’t want children uploading photos of themselves with their name displayed as well so it is useful to find an alternative solution and that is where the avatar creation tools come in.
We used a website called avatarcreator.com and had great fun designing our own avatar.
Red 1 have been working hard to sit on a chair for group time. We have been looking at the Dear Zoo story as part of our topic. We have enjoyed matching the animals to the pictures in the story and hearing the different noises they make. We have even created a display for the classroom. Great work by everyone!
Key Stage 2 and 3 have been using recyclable materials to create some fantastic pieces of art!
n Blue 2 we have a board where all students can display and celebrate their incredible work. This half term has seen some amazing pieces produced by them from across the curriculum. Some of the work displayed includes: Number, Maths, Literacy Tac Pac, PSHCE, Science and Art.
