Anti Bullying Week 2024

Anti-Bullying Week 2024: Choose RespectResources for Anti-Bullying Week 2023 - Ineqe Safeguarding Group

For Anti-Bullying Week, our class watched a powerful video that helped us understand how it feels to be bullied. The video showed the emotional impact bullying can have on someone, and it really made us think about how important it is to treat others with kindness and respect. We talked about the different ways bullying can happen—whether it’s physical, verbal, or even online—and how it can make someone feel isolated, sad, and hurt.

After the video, we had an open discussion about what we can do to help someone who might be experiencing bullying. We agreed that standing up for others, speaking out against bullying, and offering support can make a big difference. We ended the week by celebrating the positive qualities of our friends. We shared compliments, highlighted each other’s strengths, and reminded ourselves how important it is to create a kind and inclusive environment for everyone. It was a great way to wrap up the week, focusing on friendship, empathy, and making our school a safer, happier place for all.

LKS2 Art in the style of Romare Bearden for Black History Month

In LKS2 this week we have been learning about influential people during the civil rights movement. We looked at the art work of Romare Bearden and made mixed media monochromatic collages in a similar style.

We have learnt so much about the struggles of people, and the positive impact that people have when they stand together and unite. We read Benjamin Zephaniah’s poem ‘People need people’ and reflected on the heart warming message that he was spreading.

Stone Age Experience Day

Today we had an absolutely fantastic experience learning about the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. During our sessions Sue taught us: how to use saddle and rotary querns to make flour and butter, use bow and pump drills, make shelters, and wattle a miniature wall.

Kat then showed us the timeline of prehistory, using stratigraphy and artefacts. We handled raw materials and authentic and replica artefacts. Then explored prehistoric sites and features, such as Stone Henge and Woolly Mammoths
using the VR headsets.

We then tried carding, spinning and weaving. We also handled a variety of raw materials for making clothes.

What a busy day!

Weekly news – KS1

 

We have had a fantastic week in KS1.

In maths Year 1’s have been learning about halves and quarters, knowing that fractions need to be equal parts. Year 2’s have finished their unit on fractions. They have started to learn how to tell the time to 5 minutes. We learnt when we say past the hour and when we say to the hour.

In literacy we used our computing skills to use the iPads to research Rio De Janeiro for them to create fact files and lists next week.

We had so much fun in PE today. We learnt striking and fielding skills and put these skills into different games. All children showed great teamwork and collaboration when fielding to get the balls!

 

Reminders:

  • PE Monday and Friday
  • Reading books to be in everyday

Have a great weekend 🙂

This week in Class 5 children have been doing lot of quizzes to see how much they have learnt in Year 2. It has been great to see their learning develop and flourish. I am SO proud of them all and their determination and resilience they showed.

All children did amazing in sports day today. I was impressed by the sportsmanship, teamwork, confidence, and determination to all the races. It was great to see smiles on their faces as they all enjoy the morning of sports day.

Class 5 Weekly news

Happy half term everyone!

What an exciting final week of half term we have had 😊

In maths we have been comparing mass and measuring objects in grams.

We have really enjoyed our literacy lessons this week learning about tongue twisters. We wrote our own tongue twisters based upon our topic ‘Pirates’, so we used lots of words with the ‘p’ sound. The children thoroughly enjoyed sharing their poems and challenging their peers to read them.

We had a fantastic day on Wednesday with our special visitor, Captain Jim Bones! The children really enjoyed themselves and could ask great questions based upon the knowledge they have gained from our history topic this half term. The morning consisted of listening to pirate facts, playing with jig dolls, and learning a pirate dance routine and song.

In History, we finished our topic of Pirates by answering our enquiry question ‘Should we call Grace O’Malley a pirate?’. We had great discussions surrounding this question, we designed front covers and blurbs of a book about Grace O’Malley, before answering the question itself. It was great to see the children’s individual opinions based upon what we have learnt.

Reminders:

  • Books and reading records to be in school every day.
  • PE is on Monday and Friday.
  • Academy Photography is in school on Monday 3rd June for class photographs, please ensure your child is in the correct uniform.

Have a lovely half term break!

Miss Longland 🙂
