Now, more than ever, we think it’s important that children continue to understand their rights and how they are protected in our world. We are therefore posting activities based around a different right each week. You will be able to find them in your Google classroom. Feel free to dip in and out as you please but do please share anything you do with us as we would love to see what you come up with 🙂

We did some descriptive writing with the children in school today. They had a go at describing a particular part of their local area using adverbial phrases.

We can’t all be in school at the moment but we are keeping in contact with challenges and messages on Facebook and we have been setting activities on Google classroom. Keep an eye on these spaces for further activities over the next few weeks 🙂

   
    
    
    
    
 

This week we have been celebrating our right to be creative by doing lots of extra curricular activities and arty projects. Lego design and obstacle courses have been a highlight!

   
    
    
    
    
    
    
 

Kicking off our right of the month across the school, lots of creative activities have been going on. We celebrated world book day on Thursday with lots of book related activities, crafts and reading buddies. Year five used art in RE to learn about Christianity. Year Four made masks inspired by their favourite books. This morning, year one have been practising their maths skills through matching activities and year two have been building models of Buckingham palace and presenting their work to their classes. 
Archie says: ‘I would rather learn by doing creative things because art is my favourite subject and it is fun. We learn more and make our work better.’
Maddison says: ‘I like to be able to write and practise things in my books too.’
As teachers we are always looking to balance both in our classes

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

   

On Friday 14th February, we met with the Ethos committee (Mrs Harding and Mrs Twiggs) to discuss our work so far and how we can help our Christian school grow. We discussed and agreed upon a new definition of spirituality and what it means to us. We were all agreed that it makes more sense and is easily understood by all. We also talked about future fundraising ideas through soccer aid and church collections.

   

 

We all have the right to an education which celebrates our talents. In praise assembly we have been celebrating this by running an entertainment section each week. Last week year five girls Alesha and Erin stood in front of the whole school and sang a song they had learned in choir with Miss Bray. 

They said : we believe the right to have our own talents is very helpful and inspiring to others and we really enjoy having he chance to experience this in school.

 

 

Our year 6s summed up NSPCC number day perfectly. In their own words:

We were dressing up because of the rights respecting NSPCC day. Article 24 is for everyone to have clean food and water, also for the richer countries to help the poor. NSPCC means: National Society for the Provention of Cruelty to Children. We dressed up to show we have the right to be heard , to be loved, to relax and have fun. As these are so,e of our rights, our school has days to tell us about our rights and this was one of the days we got to celebrate them. Article 24 means you have the right to the best health care possible, safe Easter to drink, nutritious food to eat, a clean and safe environment and information to help you stay well.
Year two learned that the NSPCC are there to keep us safe. We have the right to be safe, eat food and drink water. If we are worried then we can call 0800 11 11.
