The Merchant of Venice
2019-12-06 08:00 - 2020-01-21 17:00 UTC
Venice – the playground of the rich, famous and beautiful, the heady world of the Rat Pack and the Hitchcock blonde. But there are rules that keep some out of the game while others prosper. All it takes is a wrong move for the tables to turn…
A Shakespearean classic meets the jet-setting rich of the 1960s in this new Lir Academy production, as The Merchant of Venice portrays the game of love and money with some vintage glamour. Socialite Bassanio pitches for the deliciously unattainable and fabulously wealthy Portia. Shipping magnate Antonio risks everything he has in a careless deal, while money-lender Shylock sees his chance to take revenge on the society that has excluded him – and to which his daughter Jessica is so dangerously attracted…. A deal is a deal and a debt must still be honoured with a pound of flesh. Can mercy prevail in a world that is all about fortune and success?
This show contains nudity, scenes of a sexual nature and smoke effects.

Autism Awareness Session
2019-12-05 - 2020-01-25
The autism awareness session will provide a foundation of knowledge for staff members who wish to better understand the experience of life on the autism spectrum. It will focus on academic difficulties, sensory issues, communication and social challenges faced by people on the spectrum, and on the unique strengths associated with autism.
Attendees will leave the training with ideas for small adaptations that they might make to their work habits to ensure that they are as autism-friendly as possible. Please register to attend this event here: www.eventbrite.com…

Brief Summary of Primary Science Curriculum
Introduction
The Social, Environment and Scientific Education Primary Curriculum provides opportunities for pupils to explore, investigate and develop an understanding of the natural, human, social and cultural dimensions of local and wider environments; to learn and practice a wide range of skills; and to acquire open, critical and responsible attitudes. Pupils can explore both the natural environment and the human environment. Natural environments are formed largely through the interaction of the Earth’s physical features and processes, its flora and fauna, for example the tropical rain forest, a peatland or a rocky seashore. Human environments are those modified by human activity such as farming, the presence of people, extraction of resources and the provision of roads, communication links and construction of buildings. Some human environments are termed built environments (constructed by people) and others result from social and cultural activities and are entirely human activities. A key characteristic of learning in SESE/Science is involving pupils in the active exploration and investigation of environments. Pupils actively construct their own understanding. A scientific approach to investigation skills, concepts and knowledge through which they can observe, question, investigate, understand and think logically about living things and their environments, materials, forces, everyday events and problems. The knowledge and skills they gain can be applied in designing and making activities.
