Winter learning

Over the last week in nursery we have finished off our learning about the season of winter. We have shared stories, played Jack Frost matching pairs, created snowflakes, winter paintings, played in the igloo and caught many colour and number fish while ice fishing! We have had a very busy week!

We have also loved our song of the week The Snowman Freeze!

Safer Internet Day 2023

Today is Safer Internet Day

All of the children have attended special assemblies this morning. We have discussed our online activities and how we can navigate our own personal safety in our online lives just like we do in our day to day life.

Each class has an Acceptable Use Agreement displayed in their classroom that they have all signed to say that they will use school devices responsibly and that they know who to go to for help.

Sensory bottles

Last week in nursery the children had a wonderful time making some sensory bottles, they looked around nursery for things to add and were particularly enthusiastic about adding glitter and some fish from our bubble tube. When we had made the bottles the children decided we had done an experiment and have since used the bottles for discussing sparkle, colour, patterns and shapes!

Takeover Assembly!

Over Hall Community School: School Council

Today the school councillors took over the Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 assemblies! They introduced themselves and explained their very important role in school so that all of the children knew who to approach should they have any ideas for school improvement.

After that, Gillian Denning from Stronger and Safer Communities talked to us about a problem in the local community (dog mess) and the importance of cleaning up after your dog! Then she introduced a competition which involves the children designing their own ‘poo posters’. This is not mandatory but we are encouraging as many children as possible to take part!

The deadline for this competition is Monday 13th February. Can all entries please be given to Miss Bibi or Mrs Morris (School Council leads). The entries will be judged by Gillian and the school councillors and the chosen designs will be put up around the local area.

Good Luck!
