Yesterday’s toy swap raised over £330 for the Save the Children Fund. Many thanks to all who contributed but especially to our School Council and Miss Sheard who organised the event.
Month: November 2018
Road safety
A huge thank you to our parents and volunteers who have been helping Year Four pupils learn about staying safe around roads. They have practically guided our children with care and attention and the support is very much appreciated.
Toy swap
Many thanks for the many donations that we have received for our charity toy swap. This event was was organised by the school council to raise money for the ‘Save the Children’ charity.
The toy shop will be visited by the children over the course of tomorrow. Each toy can be bought for £1 and all proceeds will go straight to the Save The Children charity.
We welcome further toy donations tomorrow morning!
Anti-bullying
Over the last two weeks we have reinforced with the children our anti-bullying message. We encourage our pupils to identify any repeated negative actions towards them (‘Several Times On Purpose = S.T.O.P.) and seek help immediately if they are unhappy about the conduct of others (‘Speak Out Straightaway’ = ‘S.O.S.’).
We have also reminded children of our postboxes where they can report any worries that they have. These boxes are emptied daily and relevant interventions put in place.
Animation
Year 4 have been experimenting with stop frame animation related to their class text, George’s Marvellous Medicine, and the effect that the medicine has on Grandma.
Writing
We have amazing new writing on display around the school. Well done to all of our published authors!
Off With Her Head!
Year 5 held their WOW day today for their Tudor topic. The range of costumes and dresses on show was impressive and the children threw themselves into the workshop activities. Many thanks to Hobgoblin Theatre Company for putting on a great show!
Life Education
We have had the pleasure of welcoming the Life Education team this week. The children responded brilliantly to these sessions, engaging in the activities provided and discussing key themes thoughtfully. Year 3 ‘met the brain’, Year 4’s theme was ‘It’s Great To Be Me’, Year 5’s sessions centred around friendship and Year 6’s topic was ‘Decisions’.
Heads and Deputies
Congratulations to our new Head Boy, Head Girl, Deputy Head Girl and Deputy Head Boy. This year’s selection process required the children to write a letter of interest in the positions, before attending a short interview with Mrs Williams and Mrs Taylor. Everyone who applied for the roles should be extremely proud of themselves; it was incredibly hard to pick from the range of amazing applicants putting themselves forward.
