Date: 10th Jun 2024 @ 11:00am

We all spent the day visiting Chester Zoo as part of our work in Science 

 

Year 3 & 4 - Our Science topic was all about grouping animals. As we explored the zoo we looked out for mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians and invertebrates. We were very lucky to see so many animals in the good weather.

Whole School - Anti-Bullying Week Performance

Date: 14th Mar 2024 @ 3:06pm

On Thursday 9th November children in Year 1 to 6 attended an Anti-Bullying performance, led by Altru Drama Company.

The performance was called ‘Superhero School’.

The performance was about a girl called Max who loves science and she enjoys school, but doesn’t enjoy being picked on by Mikey.

Mikey thinks it’s just a laugh, and he’s too busy with his YouTube and TikTok videos to worry about Max’s feelings.

One day Max goes to school as normal, but everything has changed.

She finds herself at a school for superheroes – meeting the strangest characters – but learning a lot about herself and what to do about bullying.

The performance helped children to think about:

· How to use your voice and prevent bullying

· How to keep yourself and others safe

· Difference and diversity

· The importance of kindness

· What to do if you are being bullied – who to talk to and where to go for support

· How we make our schools fantastic places to be!
