School Expansion for September 2009

During the week of 29th June, all classes will be exploring the heritage of our school. This is what is planned for the classes:

EYFS – Photograph project, dressing  children and staff in clothes from the different decades and taking photographs

Year 1 – Scrap Book of St. Catherine’s in 1876, 1974 and 2009

Year 2 – Timeline through pictures, these pictures will then be put onto canvas and displayed in the new building

Year 3 – St Catherine’s in the press, investigating press cutting of the old schools and producing a front page of the new building

Year 4 – Investigating materials used in the original St Catherine’s, the existing building and the new building, discussing with the Kier builders and producing a display of the materials and how methods have changed

Year 5 – Living Library, inviting guests, organising the event and using ICT to record the contributions, producing Podcasts of the oral histories

Year 6 – From the Living Library event, use photo portraits and use software to super-impose text

Here are some photos of the old school on Andover Street. We'll be working with the school community to add more detail to this section. If you have any old photos to share, we'd love to hear from you!
