• Refugee Week

  Fri 18 Jun 2021

  The children have taken part in lots of activities this week linked to refugees and asylum seekers; they learnt a lot from listening to the real-life story of a Syrian refugee. In Year 6, we looked at media headlines and how language can be used to influence how people think about refugees, we then compared myths with truths. Children also looked at poems written by refugees and discussed the impact of being labelled 'refugee'.

  

• Ikebana in Year 6

  Fri 18 Jun 2021

• Sun Safety

  Fri 11 Jun 2021

  The children have enjoyed playing together in the beautiful sunshine this week, however we would like to remind parents to ensure that they come to school with a named sunhat. In addition we would like to request that sun cream is applied at home in the
  morning before the start of the school day. Thank you
   

• Refugee Week

  Fri 11 Jun 2021

  Next week is Refugee week, which is a UK-wide festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of
  refugees and people seeking sanctuary. The theme this year is 'We Cannot Walk Alone' which reflects the message in Martin Luther King's famous historic speech. The children will be taking part in 'simple acts' which are everyday actions like singing a song, playing a game or reading a book that we can all do to stand with refugees and make new connections. We will also be taking part in a virtual chat session with a refugee speaker from Amnesty International- we hope that the small things we can do together can be the start of a bigger change
   

• My Cats

  Fri 11 Jun 2021

  Our school is working with a team of researchers at the University of Oxford on a research project called MY-CATS. The MY-CATS team are testing out a new way of identifying and supporting young children who might benefit from help to build confidence and reduce the chance of problems with anxiety now and in the future. We are inviting all parents/carers of children
  in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes to take part– as this project is to help reduce problems with fears and
  worries now and in the future, your child does not need to be experiencing difficulties with anxiety to take part.

   

  To find out more information about the project please watch this short video:

  A separate letter has been sent home to parents so please follow the links in the letter to complete the consent form. Please complete the consent and screening questionnaires by 13th June 2021. We ask one parent/carer to complete the consent and questionnaires for a child. If you have more than one child across the participating classes, you can complete the consent and screening questionnaires for each child
