Get Fresh With Frozen

This is a great campaign to get children and families eating more vegetables. The website contains lots of  information about how using frozen vegetables can be a useful cost saving exercise and along with this there is a competition where you could win a freezer and the food to go in it.

Odd Socks Day

Next week is Anti-bullying week and the theme is 'Make a Noise', encouraging children to speak out. Kicking off with Odd Socks Day and an assembly, every class will explore this theme by taking part in short daily activities throughout the week, hopefully creating a whole school display to mark the event.

Reception and The Festival of Light

This week, the Reception children have been learning about Diwali - the Hindu festival of Light.

The children had a go at making rangoli patterns, using rice and pulses, and rolled marbles in paint to represent the fireworks that they may see in the sky on Sunday.

Year 1 Ask 'Where does Beegu come from?'

Year 1 let their imagination go wild and drew pictures of Beegu's homeland in space.  Beegu is the main character in Year 1's class book and their creations were amazing.

Year 6 Wellbeing Ambassadors

Four of our Year 6 Well-being ambassadors took part in the Mental Health Primary Conference at Southborough Secondary School this week.  During the event they took part in various activities and developed their understanding of resilience, working as a team and The Stress Bucket.  They learnt about calming strategies and made an action plan for what they wanted to achieve back at school.  One of their actions was to lead a well-being assembly- watch this space!

We all had a great morning and the girls were a pleasure to be with. 

Year 6 Playleader Training

On Tuesday 7th November, five excellent role models from Year 6 were selected to attend playleader training at a local school. The training enabled the children to develop their communication, teamwork and social skills. Alongside this, they became more confident leading activities with small groups of younger pupils within our school. 

We can't wait to see them implement this training in our playground to support children to promote our value of friendship. They are rightly wearing their badges with pride. See if you can notice them around our school!
