Year 5 - PSHE
In PSHE, we are exploring how to stay safe online. Today we looked at what cyber bullying is using case studies and group discussions. The children identified similarities between traditional and online bullying, which included exclusion, emotional harm and harassment. We also defined some of the unique dangers of the online world, such as trolling, flaming and doxxing.

Year 3- NSPCC Assembly: Speak Out, Stay Safe
Today, the children participated in an NSPCC virtual assembly centered on the vital message "Speak out, Stay safe." Through interactive activities, including whispering, pointing, and cheering their right to be safe, they learned to identify different types of abuse and, most importantly, understood that abuse is never a child’s fault. The session empowered the children to recognise their right to protection and identified "trusted adults" they can turn to for help. Finally, they were taught how to contact Childline on 0800 1111, ensuring they know exactly how to access free, confidential support whenever they might need it.
Year 4 PSHE -Speak out.Stay safe
Today we learned all about the NSPCC Speak out. Stay safe campaign which aims to help children to understand abuse in all its forms. During the assembly we focused on worries. These worries may include neglect, moving schools, sexual abuse, bullying, someone being poorly or dying. Some of these worries are classed as different types of abuse. This includes neglect, physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and bullying. We can put our worries into a worry bag and share our problems to lighten the load. Who can we share our worries with.? A trusted adult, a family member, a sports coach or Childline. These are all safe trusted adults. There are so many ways children can speak out but contacting Childline may be one of them. Childline is a free support service especially for children either online or over the phone. The children listened really well throughout the whole session, showing respect and valuing differences in opinions.

Year 6 - NSPCC Speak out stay safe
Today, our Year 6 children watched and actively participated in the NSPCC Speak Out, Stay Safe virtual assembly. The session helped the children to understand the importance of speaking out if they feel worried or unsafe and reminded them that there are trusted adults and organisations who can help. The children engaged well throughout and were encouraged to ask questions and reflect on how to keep themselves and others safe. They are looking forward to learning more shortly in their NSPCC workshop.

Year 5 - NSPCC
Today, we prepared for a future visit by the NSPCC by engaging in activities and discussions around the topic of how children can stay safe by speaking out about any concerns or worries they might have. We discussed the different ways that children can be harmed (e.g. emotional or physical bullying) and who the safe adults are that they can talk to inside and outside school.
Year 3 Welcome Blackburn Rovers for GULP Project
We are delighted to welcome Blackburn Rovers to Year 3 for a four-week programme. They are delivering the GULP (Give Up Loving Pop) campaign, a fantastic initiative by Food Active, to help our students understand the health risks associated with sugary drinks. Today, the children kicked things off by learning all about what’s really inside their favourite sodas and how to make healthier choices.
Year 3 - P.S.H.E-Derek cooks dinner! (healthy eating)
In PSHE today, Year 3 became health consultants for some very special friends! We were joined by Harold the Giraffe, Derek the Penguin, and Kiki the Kangaroo. The children received an urgent email from Derek, who needed help planning a healthy, balanced party meal. Using the 'Eatwell Guide', the children debated which foods build muscle, strengthen bones, and provide energy. They’ve sent their nutritious meal plans off to Derek, and we are now eagerly awaiting his reply to see what he thinks of their delicious and healthy idea.
Reception: Snow Much Fun
Reception class have really enjoyed our Winter Wonderland. They loved making snow angels, collecting snow to create sculptures and investigating the ice too. It was a great way to introduce our learning all about the season of Winter.
Year 3, Living Life to its Fullness- Whitehall Park
After viewing the artwork in the Rose Garden, Year 3 received a surprise treat: a visit to Whitehall Park. Joined by Year 4, the children made the most of the fresh air and sunshine before heading back to the classroom. It was a beautiful reminder of the importance of living life to its fullness, finding joy in creativity, friendship, and the world around us.

Year 4 - Class Worship: John the Baptist
In this week's class worship, we heard the story of John the Baptist’s and how he was given the special job of preparing for the arrival of Jesus. The speakers talked about how John had to turn away from what he wanted and focus on what he needed in order to be ready for the arrival of the king. Following this, we spent some time thinking about our Christmas lists. The children wrote down one thing they’ve asked for on their Christmas lists. We then made a class list of human needs. We checked our lists to see if anyone had asked for any of these things for Christmas. The children noted that they didn’t ask for water or shelter (etc.) because those things are already provided for them by their parents or the world around them. We finished by talking about how the children can prepare for when they are adults, for example, by doing chores, working hard or saving money.
