ASSEMBLY THEMES NEXT WEEK: ASPIRATION
Anti Bullying Week and ‘My Unique Self’ Non Uniform Day
We are extremely pleased that our latest OFSTED monitoring re-port has been shared with parents. The children are becoming re-ally aware of how to keep themselves and others safe in all situa-
tions. During Anti Bullying week this week it was great to talk about what bullying is, what to do when you feel you are being
bullied and talking to your five trusted adults.
‘My Unique Self’ day was a great opportunity to celebrate our dif-ferences. We have included some pictures of the amazing outfits children wore to represent who they are and what they stand for.
Odd socks day was also a fantastic event! As a school, we want to make sure your children know how special and brilliant they are.
Our community diversity is one of our real strengths.
Let’s keep STRIVING TOGETHER TO SUCCESS!
Curriculum highlights from last week:
Nursery – We have been planting seeds and learning about how they grow. We have already started to grow JACK’s MAGIC BEANSTALK!
Reception – We have been flying kites in the outdoor area and learning about how things fly. This even meant some of us got to become super heroes! Year 1 – Y1 have been busy working on our new ICT curriculum and they are lov-ing it. Our younger are children are gifted COMPUTER SCIENTISTS!
Year 2 – We were absolutely buzzing with our STRICT teacher lessons linking to the history of our school… Year 3 – Amazing home learning produced on our Exciting Egyptian topic. This in-cluding baking honeycake and flat bread as well as constructing some amazing models and hieroglyphics… Year 4 – We have loved learning about the Tudors particularly Henry VIII and his SIX WIVES! Year 5 – We have loved learning about famous mountains including Kilimanjaro and Everest. We even got a tweet from a famous explorer! Year 6 – Year 6 have been working hard in their new English and Maths groups. We
also had a Safety Talk from TfL and started our RESILLIENCE project.
Ask your child for more information on what we have
been busy learning!
WEEKLY SAFEGUARDING LESSONS
Anti Bullying Week 2018
We have been learning about how to STAY SAFE FROM BULLYING.
Remember BULLYING is when somebody is rude, mean, aggres-sive or malicious to you REPEATEDLY. There is a difference be-tween someone being rude to you and someone bullying you.
We have celebrated our community and diversity and how this is something to be celebrated and not mocked. We loved dressing
up as part of our “My Unique Self” day and enjoyed learning and celebrating more about each other.
It was an exciting week all around!
