Big Voices for the Big Write

Ever since launching the topic for our whole school Big Write, the children have been very vocal in expressing their views about the thought of losing our beloved school playing field to a housing development.

Year groups have 'buddied' up across the school to find out what the implications would be for children of different ages and have come up with all sorts of reasons for keeping the field.
These include:

• The impact it would have on school events such as Sports Day and the Summer Fete
• The loss of various PE activities
• The impact on admissions and the catchment area
• The loss of our Bushcraft Area which would make Miss Grimes very sad

...and many more.

Foundation Stage children have been so enraged, that they staged a protest in their garden area. There has even been mention of contacting the Queen or the Army to get involved.

As the children feel so strongly about this, we have invited Mr A Hoax from the 'Ladygrove Council'  to come to our assembly tomorrow to hear their views and respond. Who knows, maybe they will be given a chance to put their thoughts and opinions in writing next week.
