I have just returned from Dol-y-Moch, North Wales after spending a wonderful 5 days with our Year 6 children, Mrs Knibb and Mrs Bailey. We all had a brilliant time – the sun shone when we were orienteering, searching through rock pools on Criccieth Beach, rock scrambling, climbing at Borth-y-Gest or kayaking back at Dol-y-Moch. We spent a day inside a slate mine and all the children experienced total darkness and had physical challenges climbing out of the mine. When we re-appeared high up on the mountain it started to snow – wonderful experiences all round. We are all very proud of our Year 6 who were a credit to all concerned.

I went with Year 6 to the Transport Museum on Monday. They have spent several afternoons composing electronic music and have produced some wonderful, catchy tunes. When they get back from Dol-y-Moch they have one more session and each child will have produced their own modern backing track. All they need to do is compose words to fit the music! Watch out parents! Watch out X-Factor! Later in the week our Year 6 went to the Ricoh Stadium on a Health & Fitness morning. Everyone had a great time.

Welcome to the new Leigh website!

If you have just read this week's newsletter and are here at this site because of it - let us tell you how it all works. It is not like any other school website because it has been written based on the blogging idea. That means all new pages are called posts which are found straight away on the front page and not tucked away where you cannot see them. For example, there are five posts on the front page, but the site has thirty nine posts in total.

So, the best way to have a look around is by clicking on the index pages or even just using the Google search box. For example, a search for 'Yazoo' will find the page about Healthy Tuck and it's price list.

There are two help videos to watch - one about the new online calendar and another about feeding the fish and naming the hamster (see help from the index).

You can click on the slideshow to see some photos of the school. If you are looking for something more formal, then read the School Prospectus. From the links menu, you will find Virtual Learning where the Moodledo site can be found.

At the very bottom of the main page find a large calendar and a tag cloud which gives you a snapshot of the whole site in word frequency. If you get stuck, just click the main Leigh banner at the top of any page that will send you straight back to the beginning.

And finally, as this site is a conversation - any page allows you to add your own comments. So, if you like something, then tell us - if you don't, they tell us anyway and we can put it right. If you prefer email us at: info@leighcofeprimary.com

Our aim is to provide all your questions answered by making Leigh CE Primary School an explosion of the local Community where it is searchable, clickable and linkable. Good Luck!
