At Shaw Cross we encourage an investigative approach to history. We strive to ignite children's curiosity about the past and encourage children to pose questions and follow their own lines of enquiry. In doing so children are required to develop their critical thinking skills, analyse and consider evidence, and draw conclusions about historical events and people.
In foundation stage children develop their history skills through the people and communities strand of understanding the world. Much of their work is based upon personal experience and events that have happened within their own lives, or those of their family. Children are encouraged to share an interest in their own history, and to talk about significant events and special times in their lives.

Also, we would normally have had transition days during July where children get to meet their new teachers and spend time in their new classrooms. Children new to Reception and Nursery will already have been notified of a visit date and time. In the meantime, have a happy and safe summer and we look forward to seeing you all in September.
The government has an online national academy where you can access lots of video lessons and ideas/resources for home learning for children from reception to year 11. National Geographic Kids - A range of resources to support research across different subjects. BBC Live Lessons: Primary school programming, including BBC Live Lessons and BBC Bitesize Daily, from 09:00 to 12:00 on CBBC.
Reception children: Children should be escorted in to the classrooms by their adult from 8.45 am and left with the teacher. Year 1 and 2: Under normal circumstances school staff are on the playground at 8.45 am. Children are escorted into the classroomm by their teachers at 8.55 am. We ask that parents stay with their child until the bell rings, then the children are accompanied into the classroom.
It is important to realise that during the school day, children take part in a variety of art and craft activities. Whilst protective aprons are provided, children sometimes do get a little dirty. All the materials we provide are water-based and should wash out with normal washing.
Children are allowed to wear a watch and small stud ear-rings (no more than one in each ear) which must be able to be removed by the child for sporting/physical activities for health and safety reasons.Any other jewellery should not be worn. Hair should not be dyed in non-natural colours or cut/shaved in patterns or worn in what could be considered an extreme style.

Every child will choose their main meal themselves during morning registration. Desserts do not have to be pre-booked. Children will then wear a coloured wristband which will inform the kitchen staff which meal your child has ordered. We are working in partnership with Kirklees Catering Service who have already rolled out the new system with other local schools and it has proved to be very successful.
