Congratulations to Morning Nursery, YRB, Y1H, Y2E, Y3L, Y4C, Y5J and Y6F.
The winning classes were delighted with their prizes! They received a class cookery book and will choose a healthy recipe from it to bake with Mrs Seales, our Cook. Delicious!
A few weeks ago, the children in Science Club measured the distance different cans rolled and compared the distance with the contents inside the cans. We also went on a minibeast hunt where we recorded our findings as a tally chart. We also incorporated art into our final session, making a beautiful picture with leaves. It involved ordering the leaves according to size and colour. Well done, Science Club – you’ve been brilliant!
This year as part of Anti-Bullying Week, we decided to hold our own version of The Great British Bake Off. The focus was on sharing, teamwork, and health and wellbeing.
Each year group decided on a healthy dish to make. They enjoyed creating and eating their version of the chosen dish. Our Cook judged each class’s efforts. She was looking for presentation, teamwork and the health benefits of the dish.
Each winning class in the year group will receive a class cookery book from which to choose a healthy recipe to bake with Cook. Results to be announced soon!
Our Anti-Bullying Week got off to a relaxing start with something new. Year groups 1 – 6 had Tai Chi sessions with Ilona, our Tai Chi instructor. It was a great success, with pupils and staff stating how calm and at ease they felt after it.
Classes from Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 were treated to an entertaining and interactive assembly by Hannah, a facilitator from Bigfoot Arts Education. The assembly and workshops were on an anti-bullying theme and called ‘It’s Good to be Me’.
Key Stage 2 classes also had an assembly and workshops on the theme of diversity and respecting others called ‘The Bigger Picture 2’. The assembly featured four monologues featuring four different characters experiencing racism, cyberbullying, or inequality of some kind.
Each year group had a new story book to read to accompany Anti-Bullying Week. The books inspired some brilliant PSHE and written work. The stories were enjoyed by pupils and created plenty of discussion.
We celebrated with all of our Anti-Bullying Week and Eco-warrior Day competition winners in assembly today. The entries throughout the whole school were of a very high standard. Well done everyone! All competition winners went home with a fantastic book linked to the theme of the competition.
Y3L have been painting some excellent winter scenes this week.
Y3D have had a great week completing lots of anti-bullying tasks this week! We have learnt lots about filling each other’s buckets by being kind and helpful to our friends and have shown such positive attitudes.
We are now ending a lovely week with Party Day to support Children in Need 2019 and enjoying our lemon cheesecake that we made as part of our Harton Healthy Bake Off!
As part of our Anti-Bullying Week, the theme for this year’s Odd Socks Day was ‘Change Starts with Us’. We had a special Anti-Bullying assembly and looked at each others unique Odd Socks class photographs. We are busy fundraising for the Anti-Bullying Alliance by selling wristbands this week. It’s an excellent cause!
There’s lots more to come this week to raise awareness of bullying and building self-esteem.
