Palm Sunday is on Sunday 5th April this year. Year 3 pupils have been learning about the significance of palm crosses to Christians, and about other symbols of Easter.
Many of our pupils made cards for some of the people who work hard to protects us, and cards for some people who may be feeling isolated at the moment. We want them to know that they are appreciated, and to know that we are thinking about them.
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.
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 know the importance of staying safe online, steps to take if there’s an instance of cyberbullying, and awareness of age appropriate apps, games and websites. Mr Forster’s assembly highlighted this, and pupils took part in related activities throughout the day.
Our digital leaders visited classes to conduct a survey on app and internet usage, and the uses and appropriateness of online content.
There are lots of jobs to do in the allotment at the moment. We’re tidying the raised beds and pulling up the beetroot and turnips. Soon we’ll start sowing the seeds. Watch this space!
Nursery AM, YRB, Y1H, Y2E, Y3L, Y4C, Y5J and Y6F were our Wellbeing Week Bake Off winners. They all earned themselves a cookery session with our cook, Mrs Seales. Each class chose a recipe to use from their prize of a new recipe book. Everyone enjoyed the experience. A big thank you to Mrs Seales

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.
