Anti-Bully Week

This week in assembly, the children chose RESPECT over Bullying. As part of Anti-Bullying week, they have been learning

about the importance of respecting themselves, each other and the wider

community. The week started with decorating the outside perimeter of the school in bows and balloons symbolising our RESPECT for the cause. Also children

wore odd socks demonstrating how unique we are. In addition, years 1-6 have

been discussing cyber-bullying and the affect anonymous malicious messaging on

line has on an individual.

For Children in Need this Year, we decided to join in with the 'Big Bring & Buy Sale'. The school council chose to sell confectionery during break and lunch time to help raise money for the cause. They also sold Pudsey wristbands and came to school in spotty clothes, there was even a giant Pudsey in the hall which we filled with loose change. A fun day was had by all!

MP Eddie Hughes has been in school today and was delighted with the

progress the school has made since his last visit.

His morning started with a visit to our Community Hub chatting to some

parents over a cup of tea.

He was them questioned by some of our school council children who

where keen to fond out his views on ‘Brexit’.

Lastly he had a tour of school giving the children a real opportunity to

showcase their work.
