The school is working on a project called ‘Edible Playgrounds’. This means that over the year, all the children will take part in planting, growing and harvesting fruit and vegetables. They will then use the produce in a cooking activity. Here are the nursery children harvesting runner beans, potatoes, tomatoes and blackberries. The children will be using some of this produce to cook a potato and bean salad.
Children across the school took part in Safer Internet Day on February 9 as part of a nationwide campaign. Taking place each year, this year’s theme was ‘An Internet We Trust: Exploring Reliability In The Online World’ and the children discussed the importance of checking sources to ensure material we see online is trustworthy and not ‘fake news’.
Following a series of online and class-based lessons, the children then made their own individual Internet pledges for how they were going to strive to behave safely when online.
Here are examples of some of them from across the school.
Year 3 and 4 helped to raise an incredible £570 during the Summer 2019 term for the When You Wish Upon A Star charity. As well as making and selling wristbands, they sold ice lollies at the Summer Fair and organised collections across the rest of the school to help send a child with a terminal illness to Lapland.
YEAR 4 took part in an energetic skipping session to kick start their day on March 20.
The children had to skip for two minutes while their skipping rope counted the number of rotations the rope did before trying to beat their total a few minutes later.
They were then urged to track their progress over the weeks to come.
On Monday 3rd December, we held a whole school Advent Reflection Day. In year 3, we talked about the Advent wreath and what it represents, before making our very own class wreath. We discussed the importance of Advent and how it is a time for waiting and preparing for the coming of Jesus. Everyone wrote an advent promise which we hope to fulfil during this important time.
After sharing our promises with the class, we added them to our wooden wreath which we proudly displayed in our classroom!
