• Anti-Bullying Week & Day

  Wed 14 Nov 2018 Ms stafford

  One of our themed weeks this week has been anti-Bullying week, linking to our PSHE/SMSC theme for November of 'Relationships.'  Today we had our Anti-Bullying Day.  The theme this year for 2018 is #Choose Respect.  We marked the day with 'being unique in how we wanted to dress and respecting one another's choices and differences.'

  All classes were given an anti-bully gifts of wrist bands, badges or pencils and have taken part in some anti-bullying activities this afternoon with their classes.

  We have had some great assemblies this week on friendship and anti-bullying on e of which involved a short clip on random acts of kindness which you can view at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwelE8yyY0U

  For more information on what the children have got up to during Anti-Bullying week, please look at the SMSC/PSHE section of the website under 'Curriculum'- Key Information or have a look at your child's class page.  Here you will be able to see what they talked about in class council under the theme of bullying.  Please encourage and support your child to complete our annual Anti-Bullying questionnaire. We are committed to making improvements and ensuring all children love and feel safe and happy at school.

   

• World War 1

  Mon 12 Nov 2018

  To mark 100 years since the end of World War 1 the children have spent the week learning about Remembrance, World War 1 and other conflicts. We have been lucky to be visited by Alexander Brewer who not only attended our school but was also in the Royal Marines and injured in Afghanistan. Alexander talked to the children about World War 1, other conflicts and his experiences. At the end of the assembly we observed a 2 minute silence, followed by Mr Thorne's father-in-law playing the last post. Later in the week the children attended New Cross Church for a special Remembrance service and to lay wreaths at the memorial situated close by. Many children and their parents baked cakes for the cake competition, these were then sold during parents evening with the proceeds going to the British Legion, along with the funds from the poppy sale.  Both parents and children have been fantastic at writing their messages and adding to the remembrance trees in the playground. Throughout the week all children took part in a boot camp style PE session and were able to look at some artefacts from World War 1. We hope you enjoy looking at the pictures as much as we have enjoyed learning about such important events.
