Well Being

PSHE

Our focus this half term is...

"We are celebrating people who persevere with a challenge."

Sleep

A huge factor that ensures our Well-being remains positive is sleep. Bedtimes can often be a tricky or challenging part of the day. 

Watch the video below to see some quick and easy tips on how to gain the right amount of sleep for yourself and for our students.

Learning

Year 5 Share their Learning

On Wednesday 6th of November at 8am, Year will share their learning from Term 1A with the Primary school and Year 5 parents.

Please can all parents sit upstairs in the Theatre.

New Learning Theme

This term our students will explore a new learning theme - 'The Water Crisis'

The Big Idea:

Fresh water is our most precious resource. This theme of learning explores the impact of water and water shortages on people in different cultures and landscapes in the past, present and future.
Key Driving Questions:

How does water impact our own and the lives of others in cultures different to our own?

How does the world recycle its water?

Why is there a water crisis in the world?

Global Citizenship

The Water Crisis

Next term we will focus on a new theme of learning through which we will support our chosen Charity - 'Water Aid' and with the money we raise we hope to build water wells in Cambodia.

Event 1: Year 5 Bring Buy and Bake Sale - Date To be confirmed

Students are encouraged to bring in any old or second hand items to sell at our back sale. We need to start collecting now so that we can try to raise as much money as possible.

Students could bring things like old toys, books and games to sell at the event. All items must be in working order and should be brought to class teachers who will store them in preparation for the event.

Eco Bricks - Plastic Appeal

Our Year 2 buddies are currently looking at the idea of sustainability and are trying to build and create 'Eco Bricks'. We have volunteered to help them as they are trying to develop their outdoor classroom by using the bricks to build planters and shaded spaces.

We need your help! Students are encouraged to bring in their used plastic waste. Please ensure this washed first.
