We use several key tools around school and in the classroom to help teach and develop core values and skills, along a pupil's Learning Journey at Holcombe Brook. 'Learning Waymarks' shown here are specific items from these tools that are relevant to the content, or activity being reported. We add this information with the hope of strengthening these values and accelerating pupil development, both in the classroom and at home. Find out more about our learning tools on the Vision and Values page.

As part of our ‘Urban Pioneers’ topic, Taj Mahal class were extremely lucky when a graffiti artist offered to visit us in class. Mr Hardman taught us all about the history of graffiti, different techniques and materials to use and explained how graffiti artists are now able to make a career out of their work.

The children were then asked to design and create their own name ‘Tag’, similar to the ones used by real graffiti artists all over the world. This resulted in some fantastic work being produced and a brilliant morning had by all. Mr Hardman was also kind enough to design a graffiti version of our class name! A massive thank you to Mr Hardman for being so generous with his time and delivering such a wonderful session!
