We have started our Primary Advantage Play journey. We have looked at the different types of play on offer at play time, different types of play we can provide and we are talking to children about risk, choices and problem solving to help them be braver, more creative and improve their communication skills. We need your help to collect donations each week to improve what we offer in a sustainable and low cost way. Check the posters here, in school and in the newsletter to support our collections. #playbasedlearning #keepkind #keepgreen

Thank you @raggedschoolmuseum for taking us back to school in the 1900’s. Year 4 loved learning about how school has changed since Victorian times which brought their learning to life in history. #keepconnected

Year 4 were visited by the Hackney Vampires ice hockey team this week! As part of the @hackneyonice programme Gainsborough is trialling, we were able to introduce current players to pupils to inspire them on their ice hockey journey. Thank you @hackneyonice this is a fantastic opportunity and can see some budding ice hockey players on the horizon! #keepconnected #keephealthy
