https://padlet.com/annabellekapoor/curriculum_launch_event Thank you to all of you who came to our launch event. We were proud to show you all the excellent teaching we offer at Drayton Park. Below is a record of all the lovely feedback we received on the day. Thank you everyone! en-us 2023-10-18 16:03:33 UTC 2024-05-24 12:38:39 UTC hello@padlet.com annabellekapoor https://padlet.com/annabellekapoor/curriculum_launch_event/wish/2753002071 I loved the collaborative vibe of each classroom. Teachers encouraged teamwork, were patient when children were trying to explain their thoughts, but also had a firm approach of order in class. ALL GREAT! The curriculum in each class was challenging and the learning was applicable to real life, not just for tests. Core values seen: Respect, Collaboration, Individual Thought.

I enjoyed seeing how engaged the children were and how the teachers encouraged the children to get involved in discussions using books, videos, sentence stems, praise and so on. I liked the whole school systems too, e.g. marbles.

Nice to see children learning and happy, and to see other parts of the school too.

Great talk on migration and a lesson on coding. Also enjoyed art/history in Mars and Music in Earth. The children seemed to love it all and be very engaged.]]> 2023-10-18 16:21:38 UTC https://padlet.com/annabellekapoor/curriculum_launch_event/wish/2753020020 annabellekapoor https://padlet.com/annabellekapoor/curriculum_launch_event/wish/2753022622 Lovely to see Now Press Play and the resources available. Enjoyed observing Pluto Class discuss migration and how the children were encouraged to discuss their ideas/thoughts - very tactfully led by the teacher.

It was the first time I got to see lessons being taught at Drayton Park. The new curriculum sounds very exciting and I love the emphasis you are placing on the well-being of the children and the critical skills they will need in life. I had a great morning!

Great interaction with getting children involved and really thinking.

I enjoyed all the classrooms I've seen on the top and first floor. I'm impressed by the level of teaching. Coding and migration are difficult subjects and teachers made them look very easy. I also loved seeing children doing a silent walk (art critique) in Mars Class.

We should have this every year. Sometimes it is hard to get the kids to say what their day is like, so it is very interesting to see the school in action. Well done!

They were so focused and thoughtful. Amazing to see!

The fact that it was a "new" curriculum was not really relevant to me as I didn't know the old version. But this would be great to do each year.
