5JK’s Class Assembly:   It was lovely for parents and children to watch our first class assembly of the year on Friday 4^th October. Thanks to 5JK, who led a very topical assembly about harvest; many of us learnt that there are harvest events all around the world. It was a good reminder for us to be thankful for the food that we have and to donate or volunteer where we can eg: to food banks or supermarket collections. 

 

Year 1’s Local Walk:     On Thursday 3^rd October, Year 1 classes enjoyed a local walk as part of their geography learning. They became cartographers (map makers) and created their own maps. These included symbols that the children had chosen. They learnt the importance of maps being accurate and enjoyed making more maps on the return to school. 

 

Black History Month:     October signifies the start of Black History Month. In school, we have been discussing why it is important to participate in Black History Month through the ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ campaign. Throughout the school, children have been be researching different significant individuals of black origin, who have overcome racism and adversity to achieve great things in sport, science, human and civil rights and performing arts.
