One Snowy Night in Class 4.

Date: 23rd Nov 2020 @ 8:00am

Class 4 this week, we have been read the Percy the Part keeper story ‘One Snowy Night’

The children were glued to the book as the animals came knocking on Percy’s door, asking for a warm place to stay for the night.

We giggled when Percy and the animals all fell out of bed and shivered with fright when something came crawling out of the floorboards! Don’t worry, it was just a friendly mole.

 

Class 4 had a great time acting out the story and pretending to be the different animals that came looking for a bed.

Class 8's amazing Topic work on Stone Age weapons

Date: 20th Nov 2020 @ 4:42pm

Class 8 have loved learning about Stone Age weapons. The children found out what they used to make the weapons and the different weapons for the different jobs. They worked in teams of 2 to make their own spear, then acted out being hunter gathers like in the Stone Age times. The children really took on the role as you can see from the photographs. Super stars!

Also this week Class 8 listened to Mr Padley's assembly on Anti-bullying. Then we had a PSHE lesson where we talked about the different kinds of bullying and what they should do if they were being bullied or ever saw someone else being bullied. Class 8 then made a poster with the message to everyone young and old. Let's stand together and be United Against Bullying.  

Another fabulous week Class 8 with your work in school and at home. Well done!

E-Safety in Year 2

Date: 16th Nov 2020 @ 11:53pm

We have been learning about keeping safe when using the internet as part of our E-safety day. We looked at a story about Smartie the Penguin and his new tablet. We thought about the problems that Smartie had whilst playing online including pop up adverts, websites for older children and cyber bullying and what he should do in these situations. 

The children made sock puppets of Smartie, film reels of the events in the story and information posters to help other children make the right choices when using the internet.

Below are some examples of the fantastic work they have done which will be added to our new E-Safety display in the computer room.

E-safety

 

Children are getting online more than ever before which is incredibly positive for their learning and development. However, they are also exposed to certain dangers if the internet is used inappropriately.

To reduce the number of risks, it’s essential that children know how to keep themselves safe online and what to do when something isn’t quite right.
