The anti-bullying council had a lovely opportunity today to work with RAFC Community. This is a charity that works with schools to promote positive messages. This week, the focus was anti-bullying. They learnt what bullying was and did lots of active activities surrounding this topic. The children loved it and received stickers and certificates at the end of it!
Today we have honoured our fallen by learning about rememberance day. We reflected on the world wars and discussed how we can honour those that gave their lives to protect our freedom. Here are some pictures of our learning.
In Science last half-term, we learnt about materials and their properties. This half-term, we are using all of this knowledge in our new topic ‘Building Things’. We talked about a class of children who went on a school trip to the rainforest who had to quickly use the things around them to build a shelter from the rain. One built using sticks, one used paper from their books and the other used rocks and stones. Read more
Bluebells have been learning about Remembrance Day. We have been making our own Poppies using different materials and we have completed our two minute silence.
Year 3 have had such a fun afternoon looking for different textures to create rubbings from. We looked indoors and outdoors to find contrasting textures to use in our art work. We then came in and created a picture with the rubbings by tearing shapes out of them. They looked lovely in the end! Well done, Year 3.
We loved computing today. We used spreadsheets to input data and then used this to create a graph. We used our favourite ice cream flavours.
In forest school this week Year 6 Rowan have been learning all about The Good Samaritan by sequencing the story and then using the natural forest materials to create artwork. The children has so much fun exploring forest school and were very lucky the rain held off.
As part of our remembrance celebrations, Year 6 took a wreath the lay at the cenotaph in Heywood. Year 6 were joined by Mrs Farrall and Councillor Rush. After laying the wreath, 2 children shared Remembrance prayers and we had the opportunity to spend some quiet reflection time. The children observed the silence and prayers impeccably and were thoughtful and respectful throughout.
