The whole of Tow Law school are taking part in the Inspire project during this year. We have used some of our Sports Premium money to enable us to take this opportunity. To kick start the process, Chris Cook, an Olympic Swimmer, joined us for the day. The children were engaged and engrossed as Chris started off the day by sharing some of his experiences with the children. Then he showed them his gold medal, this was a thrill for all the children. Following this, he worked with every class in the school. He looked at the theme of moving the children out of their comfort zone into a learning zone and how doing this can support their development. This is only the beginning of our journey with Chris and he will be joining us later in the year to complete more work, so look out for further updates. The children can’t wait to continue their experience.

Guide Dog Puppies
At the end of Summer term 2016, the School Councillors and the Buddies completed a sponsored walk to raise money for the Guide Dogs. They raised an amazing total of £389.07. Wow!
This money was sent to the Guide Dogs charity and is being used to sponsor three real guide dog puppies. We will get “Pupdates” on their progress and with each “Pupdate” we will receive teaching resources and class activity sheets covering a range of topics: from how guide dogs train to what it’s like to be visually impaired, along with take home freebies for every child.
The new School Councillors for 2016 – 2017 continued the previous work and have spread the message about the puppies across the school. The School Councillors were very excited to receive information about the puppies they are sponsoring. The names of the puppies are: Lexi, Zac and Una.
