Year 2 had a lovely day Friday dressing up for “Explorer Day” as part of their topic “Going on Safari to Africa.” They have learnt about the people, wildlife, landscapes and are able to identify that most living things live in habitats and micro habitats. Please view the photo album for all the photos of their day.
‘Odd Socks Day’, on Monday 16th November, is a part of national Anti-Bullying Week, with the theme this year being, ‘United Against Bullying’. At All Saints’, we believe in a positive and celebratory approach to learning about friendships, differences and community. Bullying in all its forms will be included and discussed at age appropriate levels across all year groups. The children will be thinking about a range of topics around the theme of ‘community, differences and similarities’ from discussions in Nursery around what makes us special and unique, to Year 6 discussing what ‘normal’ means and how being different can affect a person’s life. We strongly encourage and nurture empathy, respect and compassion throughout each topic covered. Throughout the week, the children will learn that bullying occurs when it is Several Times On Purpose and can be both direct and indirect. All children will be reassured that bullying is not welcome or tolerated at our school and that there are many people they can turn to for help if needed.
The children made an amazing effort dressing up and enjoyed making cucumber sandwiches too! Please have a look at the photo album of the day here!
The children have been learning about Remembrance Day this week and would like to share some of their work they have created remembering those who lost their lives while fighting for our Freedom.
Year 6's art objective had a focus on hatching and cross hatching, a skill they continued in their Remembrance Art.
The children enjoyed coming to school as Vikings and making Viking helmets, swords and shields. All the students had a fun filled day.
Year 5 has gone on a fascinating journey back in time as they find out about the Viking and Anglo-Saxon struggle for the kingdom of England and how England became a unified country. They will explore where the AngloSaxons and Vikings came from, how they fought for territory and power, and how their fighting ultimately led to the kingdom of England we know today. Along the way, they will also find out what life was like for everyday people living in Anglo-Saxon and Viking Britain, exploring things such as Viking runes and Anglo-Saxon stories like Beowulf.
