  Mon 11 Nov 2024

  We were delighted to welcome two visitors from the Holocaust centre this week. The two members of staff spent ½ a day in each year 5 class and were blown away by the children’s knowledge and behaviour during their talks.

  Thank you to the LABSA for arranging the first disco of the year this week. Thanks to all the parents and staff who volunteered to help and thank you to all of you for supporting the event.

We are not sure how much money the disco raised for the school, but the money will go towards providing engaging and enriching experiences for the children at school.

  Mon 11 Nov 2024

  The children in year 6 had a fantastic music enrichment activity this week. They missed this at the end of year 5 and will be a feature of the year 5 curriculum as we move forward. The children formed a band in the day. It was a superb was to enrich the children’s music curriculum and give them experiences beyond the curriculum. Laurence stated, “I have loved today. I have never played the guitar but learnt 4 chords today and played a song.” The end performance was outstanding with children singing and playing a range of instruments.

• Reflection and Respect – assembly this we

  Mon 11 Nov 2024

  The focus of our assembly this week was Remembrance Day. We talked to the children about what they knew about Remembrance Day and when it started. We talked to the children about the ways in which we remember the fallen and the importance of the poppy. It was great to hear how much prior knowledge the children had about the subject. We looked at an image of D-Day and discussed how the soldiers would have been feeling at the time and discussed why it was so important to remember the sacrifices of others. We finished with a discussion about what the lessons that can be learned from the past and why it is so important for us to try to live in peace in the future. There were so really pertinent points raised about conflicts around the world at present and a really mature discussion.

  Thank you to Grace, Lottie, George and Milo this week for giving up their time to sell poppies after school. Thank you to all the parents who supported this too. It was great to see so many sold and to see that so many children wanted to support the British Legion too.
