 St Dominic’s School – Margaret Smith, Head Teacher

 

On looking back at my last report I note how quickly the year is flying by and how much has happened since September. One of our main objectives this year has been to enhance our environment and improve our security. This has been aided by the good weather and we now have new fencing and gates in place along with new willow structures for the children to play in. One of the improvements that thrills me most is the development of a small corner of playground that has been transformed into a cosy quite area. This initiative has been planned by the school council working with the PTA and the Governors and is nearly completed. We are just waiting for the gardening club to plant the pots and we will have a delightful area for children to gather.

 

The children have had several exciting opportunities over the last two terms including visits to the Steam Museum in Swindon, Cadbury’s World, and Bristol Zoo and visits from Space Odyssey, K’Nex contol and Robo Kids as well as a Christmas pantomime performance. Our Yr 6 children have successfully taken part in the Mock Trial at Stroud Courts and our Yr3/4 children are busy planning for their trip to meet with their link inner city school in Gloucester.

We are looking forward to the summer term when we will be working on an art project with our Cluster schools as well as a project on the Local Mills. If anyone has any information/experiences of the Mills in our area we would love to hear from you!
