Events related to the curriculum
Creative Homework Galleries
Each term, in each area of the school the children work hard at home to produce a piece of work to show in the hall gallery. From 3D models to posters, multi-media presentations and even tasty recipe treats to feast upon, our pupils really shine with their exhibits!
Viking Creative Homework Gallery
Educational Specialist Visits
History and Geography
Museum services visits form the core of an amazing offer of experiential learning at Stonebow. Viking ancestors in full costume, palaeontologists investigating the world of dinosaurs and rainforest explorers visits are directly related to our rich curriculum.
Rainforest Explorer
Music
Our strong links with local brass musicians at Hathern Band and a dedicated weekly brass teacher from Charnwood College form an inspirational and aspirational musical experience for our children.
Our Brass Players
In partnership with Charnwood College and the Leicestershire Music Cultural Trust, we are thrilled to offer heavily subsidised brass lessons, in small groups, with new and free instruments loaned to each participating student.
Learning to play a brass instrument is not only a fun and rewarding experience but also offers numerous benefits for your child’s development. From improved concentration and coordination to fostering creativity and self-expression, music education has a profound impact on academic and personal growth.
Hannah Matthews is a graduate from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and currently teaches at Charnwood College. She will be delivering engaging and high-quality Brass lessons tailored to each student. Whether your child is a beginner or has some experience with brass instruments, we welcome all students to join us on this musical journey.
Local Brass Concerts
Working with Robert Bakewell and Charnwood College we participate in local concerts to show case our children’s musical talents.
Local connections – Hathern Brass Band
We were are so lucky to have Hathern Brass Band on our doorstep and even luckier for them to visit and share their talents and beautiful music, with invites for some of our pupils to have a go!
Annual Events
Harvest Celebration
Every October, poetry and harvest songs are on the bill for our annual harvest celebration. Parents and carers pack the hall to enjoy their children’s performances from harvest rap songs to beautiful poetry written by the children themselves.
Christmas Celebrations
Parents and carers marvel at our Early Years and Key Stage One nativity performances at school.
They are equally entranced by the annual Key Stage Two Christmas musical celebration at All Saint’s Church , Thorpe Acre.
Meet the Teacher
At the start of each academic year classes are opened up for a drop in visit to ‘Meet The Teacher’ where class teachers are on hand to share the experiences children will have in their respective classes of the new academic year.
