Pupils across Year 2 to Year 6 have taken part in this year’s Premier League Writing Stars competition. This year’s theme is Ambition, and we have some wonderful poems on display. Let’s hope we are as successful as last year!
During one of our recent School Council meetings, we reviewed how we have interpreted the key British Values, and how things we do in school reflect them.
Y1J had a brilliant trip to the Word on Monday. Jolene read a story with the class called Silly Billy, where a little boy has so many worries he can’t sleep at night. He is given worry dolls to help share his worries but then he decides even the worry dolls need their own worry dolls! The class designed and named their own worry dolls and thought about any worries they might have.
Then the children got a chance to use the library, choosing books to read and take home. There were so many great books it was a hard choice!
The class thoroughly enjoyed themselves and can’t wait for the next trip.
Some of our pupils chose stories about kindness and diversity this World Book Day. ‘Have You Filled a Bucket Today?’ and ‘Red – a Crayon’s Story’ are excellent books on these topics. We have lots of story packs to support PSHE lessons, themed days, assemblies, or impromptu discussions.
Our Key Stage 2 pupils already know a lot about how to make safe and healthy choices, and made some informed contributions during assembly today.
We are raising awareness of how mental health should be as much a part of our daily routine as our physical health is. Our school assembly reminded us to talk to friends, family members, school staff etc. rather than letting big problems get out of hand.
At break time we could use conversation starter cards to have fun discussing different scenarios with others.
