• Year 1 Inspirational Day- Leaving on a Jet Plane

  Mon 30 Jan 2023

  Year One had a fantastic inspirational day yesterday. The children arrived at school with their suitcases ready to begin their trip around the world. Once they had decided what to pack and created their passports they were ready to collect their bags and head through passport control. 

   

  There was great excitement as they boarded the plane and after a short safety video it was time for take-off.  The children enjoyed some inflight entertainment and a snack before coming in to land.

   

  Our first stop on our trip is Scotland as we learn more about the countries in the United Kingdom. We are looking forward to visiting lots of countries over the next half term.

• Police Visit- Tuesday 7 February

  Mon 30 Jan 2023

  On Tuesday, our Nursery and Reception children had a visit from the police.   This ties in with their learning ‘People who Help us’ and ‘Superheroes’.  The children loved hearing about the work the police do and got to look at and sit in the police van and even put the blue lights and sirens on!

  

• Safer Internet Day- Tuesday 7 February

  Mon 30 Jan 2023

  Tuesday 7 February was Safer Internet day.  This year’s theme was ‘Want to talk about it? Making space for conversations about life online’.  Safer Internet Day is a global campaign to promote the safe and responsible use of technology, which calls on children and young people, parents, carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, policymakers and more, to help to create a better internet. Using the internet safely and positively is a key message that we promote in school, and celebrating Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity for us to re-emphasise the online safety messages we deliver throughout the year. We would be delighted if you could join us by continuing the conversation at home.

  On Monday, Years 1 & 2 went on an adventure around our solar system. We were very lucky to have a visit from a planetarium who were able to show the children all the exciting things that can be found in our skies!  Everyone had a fantastic time and it was such a magical experience for all involved!
