Valuable Messages

This week has been exceptionally busy with several important events; all of which contain valuable messages for us all to remember. 

On Monday, the school children arrived wearing odd socks to show their support for the important message of Anti-Bullying. They undertook some tasks to reinforce why anti-bullying is so vital in schools and playground pals alongside staff ensured children were supported with their minor problems where relationships had been strained. Pupils fall out with each other all the time, but it is about ensuring children are taught to be reflective, empathetic and restorative. 

Last week, our Reception parents were invited in for the first Stay and Play of the year to take part in a Little Wandle Phonics talk before heading into class with the children for a Stay and Play session together. Here, they could see lots of learning has taken place inside and out and they got to enjoy hearing from their children what they have been engaging so well with.

On Wednesday, our two schools, Church, Royal British Legion and members of the wider community came together to commemorate Remembrance Day. I thought our Junior Leaders were amazingly clear with their readings and the contributions from each class were fantastic. Another significant event that we must always keep children remembering. Well done everyone!

On Friday, Children in Need enabled all the pupils to come to school in non-uniform, There were lots of yellow Pudsey ears and costumes being worn. I just hope the national campaign raises even more money than last year. 

Next week, we have lots more exciting things to look forward to and even more engaging learning to broaden our minds with. 

Have a great weekend everyone!
