The meaning of Christmas, by Mrs Muddy
Date: 28th Dec 2022 @ 2:43pm
Last week our children reflected on the true meaning of Christmas. They designed and wrote Christmas cards and letters in year 2, 3 and 4 to the residents of Milton house, Twyford House care home and Lawton Manor care home. The children didn’t want anyone to feel lonely at Christmas.
Visit from Status Quo drummer, Jeff Rich, by Mrs Muddy
Date: 13th Dec 2022 @ 10:11am
Earlier this week, former Status Quo drummer, Jeff Rich, met with Alsager Highfield students to discuss his extraordinary success as a drummer and to teach them some drumming techniques.. His success is even more remarkable as Jeff has never had a drum lesson, learning to play at home on a biscuit tin with his mum's knitting needles. Jeff had many jobs as a youngster so that he could eventually buy his own drum kit. Jeff told the children he practised every night after school from 4pm-6pm. This made us all feel rather sorry for his neighbours, especially as he grew up in a block of flats in Hackney! During the afternoon, students were privileged to participate in a practical workshop with Jeff, who shared with them an insight into his vast experience. It was an unforgettable experience for all involved and Jeff's main message resonated with our own mission statement of 'Nurture, Believe and Achieve.'

SCARF, by Mrs Muddy
Date: 9th Dec 2022 @ 4:56pm
Today SCARF visited school to deliver workshops in Reception, Years 1, 2, 3 and 4. The children loved it. In year 4 the children discussed the different personalities that they have, looked at organs inside the body and compared how we look after our physical body to how we look after our wellbeing. They all had well balanced debates about different topics by making sure they listened to and respected one another's opinions and discussed the ways in which we are all different by going on a trip to space.

PCSO visit, by Mrs Muddy
Date: 22nd Nov 2022 @ 6:53pm
Oli, our PCSO for Alsager, visited school today for lots of reasons but most importantly to meet the children so that they know his face and feel able to talk to him if they see him out and about. The role of the police is to keep us safe and to protect us and Oli talked to the children about this yesterday. He was made very welcome and has promised to come back and see us again.

School Council, by Mrs Muddy
Date: 22nd Nov 2022 @ 6:27pm
Yesterday our School Council met with PCSO Oli to discuss our school, Alsager and the wider world. They asked him lots of questions about his role, shared ideas to improve the policing in Alsager and listened brilliantly. Some of the ideas they shared included; more police walking around Alsager especially at the weekends when children are out and about, support with trolleys that seem to appear around Alsager abandoned, more police dogs as they would love to see police dogs in Alsager and more parking support for dangerous parking. Oli agreed to take the ideas back to his team at Congleton and to feed back to our council next term. We were really proud of the questions and ideas our children shared, they are always thoughtful and listen well.
