Today, our fabulous Year 5 children dressed up in their Tudor finery to educate all the Walkley children who visited the Tudor museum. All classes were able to visit 3 areas of the school dedicated to aspects of Tudor teaching. In the dance studio, visiting classes were able to watch Year 5 children perform an expressive dance telling the story of Henry VIII and reflecting traditional Tudor dancing. In the creative zone, year 5 children taught the school about Tudor houses, use of herbs by Tudors, what a traditional Tudor feast would look like and also showcased some Tudor based stop-go animations. Finally, the children could visit a classroom displaying lots of art work and written work about Tudor times and find out information from the very knowledgeable Year 5 children as well as explore Tudor artefacts. Well done to all the Year 5 children and staff, you shared your expertise so well and gave all the Walkley children an experience to remember.

Tuesday 30th November
School is fully open. The surrounding roads are free from ice thanks to the rise in temperature overnight.
Dear Parents and Carers
School Closure Today Monday 29th November 2021
We have assessed the school site this morning and can report that the site cannot be made safe due to compacted ice on school grounds and the surrounding roads. This means that school will be closed today, Monday 29th November 2021. A combination of the snowfall yesterday afternoon, the below freezing temperatures overnight and the forecast predicting continued sub zero temperatures means yesterday's gritting had no effect and the risk of injury is too great. Additionally, the risk to staff, pupils and families of travelling into the area, particularly given the bus strike, presents additional risk.
I apologise for the disruption that this will cause and thank you all for your support and understanding. Hopefully, the weather forecast will be right about the temperature rising later on and we will be able to make the site accessible and safe today, which will mean that we will be back to normal tomorrow.
