Yesterday the children took part in many activities associated with Safer Internet Day. Learning new songs, creating posters and discussing ways they can stay safe on line. We consider www.thinkuknow.co.uk website to be a good source if you wanted to discuss this topic further.
Over the past half term, Owls Class have been taking part in some very interesting gymnastics lessons. They have used different pieces of apparatus and worked in small groups to produce some routines.

Last week was National Story-Telling Week. Throughout the week, the children heard lots of favourite stories and on Wednesday afternoon, joined their fellow house members to share books. Lots of the older children read to the younger ones and some even got the chance to watch Michael Rosen telling his own rendition of Chocolate Cake!
Following on from our Christingle Service in December, some of our children collected money for ‘The Children’s Society’. One of the girls sold some of her own toys to raise money – well done and thank you for your generosity.
It was the turn of the Owls to share their work with the Parents at Friday’s assembly. They showed some photos and explained what they had been doing in gymnastics, shared some amazing writing and showed some work which they were particularly proud of. However, the highlight of the assembly, had to be ‘Science in […]
