Whole School Assembly - KCU
Mon 11 Nov 2024As this week is Anti-Bullying Week, Michael from KCU, came to talk to us about ‘Kindness, Compassion and Understanding’.
We talked about what these three words mean, what we can do to show these qualities and why they are so important. We also talked about how and when we show these qualities and why we should share them with everyone. Michael shared the KCU pledge with us where we all chose how to share kindness, compassion and understanding at home, in school and within our community.

Whole School Assembly - Firework Safety
Mon 04 Nov 2024This morning Mrs Nichols talked to us about Bonfire Night and the story behind it. She then shared the firework code so that we can enjoy fireworks safely.
We were reminded that:
Only adults should light fireworks
We should stand well back from bonfires
Sparklers should be held at a arm’s length (you should wear gloves and to make it easier to hold you can even stick it in a carrot to make a chunky handle)
You should never go back to a lit firework
Fireworks should be stored in METAL box which is not flammable
We should keep pets and animals safe because loud noises scare them
We should never throw or play with fireworks - they are not toys and are dangerous
Follow the firework code and stay safe on bonfire night!

Fri 25 Oct 2024Today was our annual 🎃Pumpkin Day🎃! Each class was able to enter one decorated pumpkin into the competition. All of the children designed what they would like to turn their pumpkin into. The children in each class then voted for which design would be used to create the class pumpkin - practising the British Value of Democracy.

Whole School Assembly - Diwali
Mon 14 Oct 2024Today we had a special guest leading our whole school assembly about Diwali. Larinda is a member of the Sikh religion, and he told us all about Guru Hargobind Sahib and Emperor Jahangir who were great friends and Chanda who was jealous of their friendship. Chanda had the Guru arrested! The Sikh followers were not happy and protested this. The Emperor was released and the Guru apologised for Chanda's actions, but the Guru would not leave because there were other innocent prisoners in the palace. They were then also allowed to leave as long as they could hold the Guru's cloak. That day the Guru saved all of the prisoners and on that day, it was Diwali. We learnt that Diwali celebrates good overcoming evil and light overcoming darkness. Diwali is celebrated in Sikh, Hindu and Jain faiths as well as by some Buddhists.
