Here are our Eco Council's suggestions on how to have an eco-friendlier Christmas: Choose crackers that don't have plastic items inside, or make your own so inserts are personal. Choose wrapping paper that can be recycled. Try to buy fruit & veg which isn't wrapped in plastic. https://t.co/X99B1GzW4M

27/11/20 Term 2: NSPCC - Speak Out. Stay Safe.

NSPCC Speak Out

This week the children took part in the NSPCC’s Speak out. Stay safe programme. Unfortunately, they couldn’t visit our school as arranged so instead they provided virtual assemblies for both key stages to help our pupils have the knowledge and understanding they need to stay safe from abuse. This is a nationwide programme for every primary-school-aged child in the UK and Channel Islands. They use their friendly mascot Buddy to help children to feel empowered – knowing how they can speak out and stay safe.

If you would like any more information about the NSPCC Speak out. Stay safe. programme, including frequently asked questions, you can find it on the NSPCC website nspcc.org.uk/schoolsThe NSPCC’s work in schools will help encourage conversations about staying safe – and they have a number of child-friendly materials to help you carry on the conversation afterwards. That includes ‘The Underwear Rule’, a simple way for parents and carers to help keep children safe from sexual abuse – without using scary words or even mentioning sex.
The guide uses the rules of PANTS to teach children that their body belongs to them and them alone. You can find out more and download the free resources at nspcc.org.uk/pants

NSPCC Speak Out. Stay Safe


If you’d like to know more about the NSPCC’s work, or take a look at the wide range of information and advice which is available for parents and carers, please visit their website https://www.nspcc.org.uk/preventing-abuse/keeping-children-safe/

23/10/20 Term 1: Black History Month

In PSHE, children have learnt about a key black historical figure from British/American history. Your child will have learnt about one of the following people:

Florence Beatrice Price was an African-American classical composer, pianist, organist and music teacher. Price is noted as the first African-American woman to be recognized as a symphonic composer, and the first to have a composition played by a major orchestra.

Pablo Fanque was a British equestrian performer and circus proprietor, the first recorded non-white British circus owner in Britain. His circus was popular in Victorian Britain for 30 years in a period that is regarded as the golden age of the circs.

John Blanke (1501–1511) was a successful black musician in London in the early 16th century. He probably came to England as one of the African attendants
of Katherine of Aragon in 1501. He is one of the earliest recorded black people in England after the Roman period.

The children have really enjoyed learning about Black British history. If you would like to find out more information then please follow the links below:
