On Monday I was invited to Wombwell Park Street Primary school in Barnsley to attend a planning morning in preparation for a week long writing project that I am leading there in November.
And what a school! I've never seen anything like it. Inside it was like my mum's classroom on a whole school scale. Huge displays of different moments in history, a wall of writing revealing the 'Writers of the Week', all manner of transport models made out of recyclable materials, murals, paintings, and much more besides.
By the time I discovered that the Year 6 pupils ALL have access to individual laptops ALL the time I knew that I was somewhere special.
I've got a REALLY good feeling about the week in November. The creativity within school oozes out from its every pore. I haven't even met the children yet (apart from the ones I met on the school website's very own introductory film!), but I know that they are going to bring SUCH a lot to the project.
This is a brill school. I just know it.
