The Hub Lectures

Back to News
27th Nov 2022

The Hub operates at lunch time for children in Years 3 to 6. It is run by Mr Smith, our Learning and Inclusion Mentor, supported by our SJF Healthy Minds Champions. Its purpose is to provide a space for children to talk, read, complete homework with or without support and to access online resources safely for projects, homework and to support learning.

Here is a message from Mr Smith:

The Hub is also launching a series of small lectures designed to give the children a chance to learn more about those things that interest them; anything from politics and popular culture, to history, science and the arts. The Hub Mini-Lectures will aim to give the children an opportunity to listen and learn, and take part in quizzes, to win prizes and create amazing work with you - their family & friends - at home. This work can then be displayed around school.

Each lecture will be presented every Tuesday and Wednesday in the Y5 classroom and will focus on different the topics. The lectures will be repeated on a weekly basis, so that the children never have to miss out!

We strongly encourage parents/carers to join in and take part. It would be wonderful if they could help their children to create pieces of work based on what the children learned from the lectures. It will be a fantastic opportunity parents/carers and their children to work together and to also maybe win prizes for their efforts!

The lectures will be advertised in school, in the newsletter and on the website. Children who would like to find out more should speak to Mr Smith. Thank you.
