Photo Album The Deanesfield Photo Tour   The main reception area and office As you walk through the main entrance you will come to a desk. You will find one of the secretaries behind it. If you turn left you will come to the headteacher's room. Next to it you will find the school office. The infant hall - the temporary dining area If you turn right from Reception you go through the Infant Hall. This is being used at the moment as the dining hall, as the old dining hall was demolished to make way for new junior classrooms. The new dining area is to be built in the old kitchen area. The nursery If you carry on through the Infant Hall you can open a door to lead into the nursery building. In the nursery, the children can choose from a number of things to do. They read and do work but they also paint, dress up, go on the computers and play in the home corner. Below is a picture of where the nursery children can do these things.   If you go in the nursery gate you come to the nursery playground. It was a small playground but Mrs O'Brien had it extended and a small, safe play area has been fitted for the children to play on. There are also tractors and tunnels for the children to play with. The Year 1 corridor If you leave the Nursery and turn right, you go along the Year 1 corridor. Yr1 have two classes along this corridor, and there is a classroom for group work. The Yr1's are not in the new building but they still have brand new toilets. The new infant classrooms area At the end of the corridor, if you turn right you enter the new classroom building area. This is the home of the Year 2 classes. With brand-new toilets and cloakrooms, the new building is quite excellent. It has all new equipment from abacuses to white boards. The new building has its own special needs room and a meeting room for the teachers. As you read this, more building work is going on to make us new junior classrooms, a new dining room and a chair storing room. It should be great!! The long infant corridor If you come out the new infant building, you go down a long corridor. On the right are classrooms and on the left is the Infant library, the main infant cloakrooms and the geography, history and art resources area for the whole school. On the right there is a reception class called January Jewels. These children come straight from the nursery and start full time school. The junior hall If you go through the doors at the end of the corridor you walk across to the Junior building. On the left you pass the new building work for the new junior classrooms. As you come into the junior building, you will see our junior hall which is decorated with bright, detailed, large displays. The junior groupwork room (the old music room) At the far side of the hall is a room which used to be the junior music room. It is now used as a small classroom for English groupwork. The lower junior practical areas If you turn left when you go into the hall, you enter the Year 3 practical area and classrooms. If you turn left again you go into the Year 4 and Year 3/4 practical area and classes. The junior fiction library area and the reference library room Next, if you go back through the hall and go through the double doors at the other side you will find the fiction library with books from you favourite authors from Roald Dahl to Anne Fine. There are also 360 books and cards which are used for English work. The Year 6 cloakroom and corridor If you go right through some other doors you will come to the junior cloakrooms where Yr5 and one of the Y6 classes can hang up their coats and put their belongings away. They also have there own pegs. One Year 6 class has its own cloakroom next door to their classroom. They have a door leading in to a small corridor where there are some storage rooms. The upper junior practical area and corridor Next to the main upper school cloakrooms are the Yr5 classrooms. For the last two years, Yr 5 have been going to an adventure holiday to Osmington Bay. You learn to look after yourself and you will do non-stop activities all day. If you go out of the main doors from the junior hall you are in the Infant playground. They have activities painted on the ground. To the left there is a shady area where the children can play in summer. If you go to the left and down the step, you enter the main junior playground. Walk on and see the playground and benches where children can sit down and talk. If you turn left from the playground you walk down the drive towards the main gate. To your left should see the Year 6 classes were the children work.   Photos by Stephanie and Florence (Y6) Written by Richard, Nichola, Lee and Thomas (Y6)
