EYFS decided to recreate Glastonbury today including the mud! Check out our photos in the children’s tab, under the key stages file. 

Today we enjoyed our second Forest School session. We reminded ourselves of our rules and Frankie and Jacob were keen to share with their friends about the rope boundaries. We investigated tool work and all listened to a tool safety talk and then we had a go at using a bow saw and a drill. We made jewellery out of wooden discs and brought them back to show our teachers.

Today we joined Louise and Molly who will be joining us in our Forest School sessions. Today we introduced ourselves to the environment of the forest and set out our boundaries and rules. We looked at hazards in the environment and played with the mud kitchen and investigation box. We loved bug hunting under the logs. We made sure we put the bugs straight back in their natural environment. We later built dens and made our own mud flag. 

Cyberbullying

Internet Matters has published findings from a survey of parents looking at their concerns about how children can experience cyberbullying differently based on gender and online activity. To find out more visit out Internet Safety page under the Curriculum tab.

Check out our early years summer gallery for pictures of our recent learning during our topic “Trolls”and “Tom and the Island of Dinosaurs”.

Also Nursery have been using the Bee Bot to travel around the map we made of Troll Village. We made volcanoes out of papermache and experimented to make our own volcano erupt.

Nursery are learning all about real life superheroes through their interest in Paw Patrol. They are learning all about the role of each of their favourite pups and next week the police will be visiting to talk to us about how they help to keep us safe.

Thank you to all our families and friends who sponsored us to complete the Muddy Puddles Obstacle Courses set up around our school. The children worked hard to move around the obstacles moving under, over, around, beneath, through and in between obstacles. As soon as we have received all of the sponsor monies in we will let you know how much we have raised for the children in Ancona. Enjoy our photos!

Today is Internet Safety Day. We have had a great response to our poster competition and our judges, Mrs Adamson, Mr Brown and Miss Smyth have a really tough decision ahead. Our Year 5 pupils were lucky enough to visit Anfield to help learn all about Internet Safety. They look part in several activities. In Reception class we watched the film clip about Internet Safety and talked to our talking partners about what internet safety is and how we can stay safe on line.

Our poster competition will close on Friday 10th February. Winners will be announced and prizes awarded in our Celebration Assembly on Friday 17th.

Already had some excellent entries in our Safer Internet Day competition . The prizes are great : a Robo , a Kodi and Virtual Reality Headset!

Remember you need to be in it to win it!

Here are a selection of the entries from Miss Gilchrist’s class

  

Today Mr Head worked with our KS1 classes and taught us how to code using scratch. Alfie in Year 1 said “I really enjoyed using the iPads” and Nathan in Year 2 said “Its cool to code!”.
