As part of our Healthy Me  topic in PSHE this term, today Year 1 have been learning all about how to keep their teeth clean and why this is so important for our overall health and wellbeing. With Mrs Semple, the children explored the role of the dentist and how they help us to look after our teeth. We shared our own experiences of visiting the dentist, helping to build confidence and understanding around these important check-ups. During our class discussion, the children dre

Year 1 had an amazing day making their own fruit smoothies! They started by learning how fruits grow and how flowers turn into tasty fruits. 🌱🍎 Next, the children became smoothie designers, choosing their favourite fruits, using a class word bank, writing ingredient lists and creating bright, colourful labels for their cups. After learning about knife safety and chopping their fruit carefully, each child added their ingredients to a blender to make their very own smoothie.

In PSHE this term our Key Stage One classrooms have been full of little heroes learning big life skills! We have been learning all about how to call for help and how to use simple first aid if someone needs us. We have explored what an emergency actually is and when we might need to ask an adult for help or call 999. To help us remember what to do, we did lots of fun role plays. Some children pretended to be helpers, some were callers and some were the emergency services. We

We started our assembly with a quiet check-in, thinking about how we were feeling. Lots of us were a little tired as it is our first week back after half-term...mostly the teachers! As we chatted, the hall felt calm and still. So then, it was time to wake up and shake up! The music started, our bodies began moving, and soon we were dancing our hearts out, with some brilliant cheerleaders leading the way at the front. After all that jumping, dancing, and smiling, we checked in

Do you like eggs for breakfast, or maybe for lunch or dinner? Well in PSHE Year 2's whole lesson was about...you guessed it...eggs! Together, we had the chance to look at real life eggs, we observed their different colour, the speckles on some and not others and the different sizes of our eggs. After this, came the exciting part, we got to crack our eggs into bowls. We had to work as a team so that we didn't get any on the floor (Shame Mrs Semple wasn't as careful!) We then p

Today in PSHE Year 2 we’re dreaming big! We began our lesson by thinking about “dreams for our future” and goals that we hope to achieve. We all shared our ideas and watched a video about job roles to inspire and broaden our horizons. After this, we took park in a drama session where we acted out job interviews, and wow, were some of our future bosses tough! To finish our lesson, we thought about the word “aspire”  and what this means in relation to our future dreams. Well do

Have you ever thought about the differences between sounds that musical instruments can make? Some are loud, some are quiet, some are tricky to play, others appear more simple! In our assembly today that's exactly what we did! We had a range of instruments and thought about the sounds these made, were they the same or were they different? After this we played together as a band - our instruments made very different sounds but they worked together. So what was the underlying m

Our Year Six class were lucky enough to have a visit from the Child-Centered Police Unit today, they came to speak to us about staying safe online! Our chat began with a question – “How many of you have access to online devices?”  It was nearly all of us! From phones, Ipads, Xbox, Playstations - the list was endless, we couldn’t believe it. During our lesson today we learnt all about: How can we keep ourselves safe online The fact that once something is sent, nothing is ever
