This week at Gainsborough…
Spring 2
Science Week and International Women’s Day
This week we completed some science experiments in classes and recorded these to create a school science fair! We will visit the fair over the course of week 4 in our classes and view each year groups’ science experiment. Families will be able to view these during parents evening in the middle hall. We will also look at an influential women scientist, in each year group, and reflect on the unsung female scientists throughout history who have made an incredible contribution to the world of science. Watch this space for our songs about female scientists coming soon!

Parent’s Evening at Gainsborough
All parents are invited to come and meet with class teachers regarding their child’s well being and learning this week, on Tuesday 18th March 3.30-5pm and Wednesday 19th March 3.30-6pm. Teachers will share successes and key strengths and talk to you about what steps are next in your child’s learning. Senior leaders will be in the hall and available to meet families and garner your ideas for the school development plan for the coming year. Please also complete our annual parent questionnaire so we can review your feedback on our curriculum, behaviour and attitudes, personal development and leadership and management.
