Easter Super Skills Challenge 2021
Welcome to our Super Skills Gallery. The last year has been a very different time for all of us and our lovely Cobbs children wanted to show us some of the skills they have learnt both when in school or during remote learning. Some are new skills for them, some are skills they had to re-learn but they are all designed to promote independence and confidence. We provided the children with a different skill set for Early Years and Key Stage One and asked them to select one. We were amazed when lots of children worked through so many on the sheet. There was such a variety from children in our nursery dressing themselves to our year two children helping around the house. Our school prides itself on working with parents to help our children become the best they can be. You can tell by seeing so many smiling faces in this gallery just how much the children love a challenge and are continuing to set themselves goals to achieve lots more life skills. Well done everybody!
