Today, it was also Safer Internet Day, where the children had a special assembly and took park in various actitivities. The children were able to use their long term memory and were able to say what they should do if they did not feel safe online.
Today, the children took part in a live Kindness Workshop linked to 52 Lives Random Acts of Kindness Week with many other schools. The children made cards as a kind gesture for people who were important to them. Our school was selected and the children's work was shown during the live workshop.
The children will be bringing a Kindness Challenge to complete during half term. Please see the letter section for more information. The children will also bringing this home this week.
This week the school will be supporting and taking part in various activities for Children's Mental Health Week. This year's theme is 'My Voice Matters!' The children have already participated in a virtual assembly today and will be completing various activities throughout the week.
This half term, we introduced our new Eco monitors for each class in Year 1 to Year 5/6. The children all have their new sustainable Eco monitor badges and have been taking their role and responsibilities very seriously.
For example, the Eco monitors ensure any unwanted paper and plastic bottles are recycled and placed in the new class recycle boxes. Then, at the end of the week, they will take these to the main recycling bin with our Site Manager. The monitors also ensure all the lights and interactive whiteboard and heating are turned off when they are leaving their classrooms.
