2BD’s Class Assembly:       On Friday 9^th May, 2BD shared their learning with us in assembly. They showed us their non-chronological reports about dogs and explained the features that they needed to include. They also shared their learning in maths, science and history too! Did you know that butterflies taste with their feet? We learnt a lot from them and were surprised at how busy the children have been in their classrooms. Well done to 2BD, Miss Dillon and Mrs Shirley for sharing your learning with us. Thank you to all the parents and families that came to support. 

 

Junior PCSOs:        On Wednesday 7th May, several of our Year 5 children have taken on the role of Junior PCSO, working alongside actual PCSOs. The children all received a uniform consisting of a high-vis vest and a Junior PCSO hat and began their duties by taking out a pledge, using the phonetic alphabet. For their initial challenge, they went out onto Deedmore Road to monitor the traffic. Ronnie and Adam (the actual PCSOs) set up a speed monitor to catch speeding cars and we are pleased to report that all of the motorists drove safely and there was no evidence of speeding or other dangerous driving behaviour.

 

VE Commemorations: In the week commencing 5^th May, we marked this important event with special assemblies, tea parties and picnics. In Key Stage 1, our children listened to music and played games that would have happened eighty years ago. Our Key Stage 2 children learnt a topical song “It’s a long way to Tipperary.” Everyone had fun but were conscious that there is a serious message to be shared and we hope that this was a way to ensure that all of our children are aware of the significance of the commemorations.
