• The School Council's latest venture

  Fri 21 Nov 2014
  The recent school council project was to design a flag which represented our school and our community. Here you can see the design making in process and the finished article. Below is a description of our inspiration behind the completed design:
  
  Our design was inspired by our community. The fourteen children making up Sir John Sherbrooke's School Council came up with the idea with the help of the whole school, who designed individual flags. The coal on the flag represents our coal mining community and, as it is the cornerstone of Calverton, the children decided to place the coal in the corners. They chose the colours white and reflex as they are our school colours and placed the logo of the school in the heart of the flag as it is the heart of our community (Calverton). They chose to place the logo within a hot air balloon as Sir John Sherbrooke’s motto is ‘the sky’s the limit’.
  
  Huge thank you to my parent helper (Sarah and Alfie Casey's mum), who gave her afternoon to work with the school council :-)
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

   

  

• Year 5's afternoon with John Suggett

  Thu 20 Nov 2014
  Year 5 were lucky enough to experience an afternoon with a talented artist, John Suggett, as part of their topic work on mining. John showed the children, with water colours, how to create a horizon, buildings, people and a foreground. The children produced some excellent work, which will be showcased in their classroom and school.

• Year 5's afternoon with the ex-miners

  Sat 08 Nov 2014
  We had a wonderful afternoon with the ex-mining association. They taught us so much about the coal mines; we even tried on some of the clothing they wore down the mines and learnt about the different things that use coal such as; perfume, make-up and shampoo! We came to the conclusion that Mrs Rogers was covered in coal!
