King Barrow Gateway Phase: Project Celebration

This Wednesday (19th October, 2016) parents and carers across Gateway Phase in King Barrow, Admiralty and Perryfield Schools are invited to attend a 'Project Celebration' from 4:30-6:00pm in each school.

In King Barrow, we look forward to inviting parents and carers to our 'Street Party' themed event with opportunities to view learner work, engage in practical activities and speak to members of the teaching team.

King Barrow School - Language and Culture

In King Barrow's Language and Culture lessons we have been learning all about 'Portland at War'. As part of this project learners have been researching and presenting their findings about three major conflicts that had a significant impact on Portland (English Civil War, Spanish Armada and WWII).

As a school team, we've been overwhelmed with the research techniques deployed by King Barrow learners including visits to local museums, emails to national museums and international experts, video interviews with family members and the collection of primary sources of information.

It's exciting to see the learners work starting to come together. We are currently in a process of critique where learners are improving their first drafts. To find out more about critique, please check out - http://www.katrinaaxford.com/culture-of-critique.html
