Fox Talbot Day - Friday 9th February
As part of our celebrations to mark the 200th birthday of Lacock School, on Friday 9th February, Staff and children dressed up as Georgians to celebrate Fox Talbot Day. Lacock School was built to mark the 21st birthday of William Henry Fox Talbot and was opened in 1824. Children visited the Abbey to make scrap books and undertake traditional letter writing, as well as being archaeological spotters in the Abbey grounds.
Following a packed lunch in keeping with the food available in 1824 (bread, cheese, traditional fruitcake etc.) the children tried out a variety of jobs which Georgian/Victorian children would have done. These included servant, Chimney Sweep, Candle Maker, Kitchen Hand, Bird Scarer, and Groom/Stable hand. Below are a selection of photos from the day.
Chippenham Dance Festival - February 2024
On Tuesday, 6th February, a number of our children took part in the Chippenham Dance Festival at the Neeld Hall. This year's theme was 'Around the World' and included performances from around 200 children from schools across the Chippenham area who put on a fantastic show to a sell-out audience of parents and carers.
I Can and I am Workshops - January 2024
On Wednesday, 31st January we were lucky enough to be visited by the charity I Can and I am, who brought their specially adapted double-decker bus complete with resident dog, Meg. Throughout the day, pupils from each class visited the bus to complete a self-belief workshop. The workshops involved pizza making followed by a reflection session looking at personal strengths, self-confidence and goal-setting. Parents and staff also had an opportunity to go on the bus after school. The feedback from pupils and staff was very positive and we hope that our pupils will be able to use some of the strategies they learnt in the future.
