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.

As part of their Pharoahs topic, Taj Mahal class took on the role of archaeologists for the afternoon. The children wore safety equipment, such as helmets and gloves and were asked to go digging in search of Ancient Eqyptian artefacts. Once the children unearthed their discoveries, they dusted the artefacts down and compeleted a report on their findings. The whole class had lots of fun and some children are now hoping to be archaeologists when they’re older. Watch out Indiana Jones!
