Social Media Kindness Day

Today is ‘Be kind online day’.

This is an annual event that takes place every November.

On Monday, Mrs Croft, one of our DSL’s and also one of the computing co-ordinators, took assemblies with both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.

We talked about kindness being one of our very important school values. We discussed how important it is to treat others with kindness- both in person and online.

We also discussed being an upstander and not standing by when others make hateful remarks both in person and online.

The children listened carefully and responded well to some key messages about online behaviour.

We post regular information in the online section of our website to help you navigate the tricky subject of what your children may be up to online.

As always, feel free to speak to us if you have any concerns.

COP27 Week

What and when is COP27?

COP27 stands for the 27th Conference of the Parties. COP27 will take place in Sharm el-Sheikh, South Sinai, Egypt. It will take place from 7-17th November 2022. It’s an important summit that will be attended by representatives of all the countries that signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

At the summit, the leaders of these countries will meet with climate change scientists, activists, campaigners, and other experts to discuss the measures that should be taken in the battle against the climate crisis.

Why is COP27 important?

COP27 is an important event because the latest science shows that climate change is moving a lot faster than we are.

This year, the main focus of COP27 must be implementation.

This is an activity you could do at home.

Airport Experience ✈

Thank you so much to Mrs Bradburn, who is a member of our office staff, who previously worked as a Cabin Crew Leader for Monarch Airlines. Mrs Bradburn very kindly dug out her old uniform and helped to give our children of the experience of going to an airport and boarding an airplane. Our Year 2 children’s History topic is ‘Travel and Transport’ and they will use what they have learnt today to write a set of instructions in their upcoming English lessons.

Year 2 Literacy

The children have thoroughly enjoyed their literacy sessions this term based on  instruction writing and linked to our History topic of ‘Travel and Transport’.

During the sessions, we have..

  • Followed instructions to make an origami boat
  • Identified the features of instruction writing
  • Ordered some instructions and used them to make our own paper aeroplanes
  • Worked as a class to write some instructions on how to make a paper parachute.
