Look at what we have been up to!

• BRIGHT Assembly - Independence

  Tue 18 Nov 2025

  This week in our BRIGHT assembly we read 'Simon Sock'. Although we know that being a team player is a character strength to be celebrated, we learnt through this story that independence is also a great character strength to have. Simon Sock learns that it's great to be yourself and be independent, rather thank having to always be teamed up with a matching partner and we talked about what we could do to show independence also. 

   

  

• Whole School Assembly - 'Pudsey and the Thread of Hope'

  Mon 17 Nov 2025

  Today we shared the story of 'Pudsey and the Thread of Hope' by Tom Fletcher.

  Inspired by Pudsey’s 40-year legacy of hope and resilience, Pudsey and the Thread of Hope was created to celebrate the vital work of BBC Children in Need.

  The story follows Jai, a young boy navigating grief, who discovers healing and courage through a magical journey with Pudsey. Along the way, they meet other children connected by a golden thread of kindness and empowerment, highlighting the importance of trusted, positive relationships in helping young people overcome adversity. The book aims to raise awareness and funds to ensure that children across the UK have access to the support, connection and care they need. 

  Thank you to everyone who bought raffle tickets and merchandise and wore their own clothes in aid of Children In Need, we are very proud that the money raised will go to those who need it most.

   

  

• BRIGHT Assembly - Resilience

  Wed 12 Nov 2025

  The theme of this week's BRIGHT assembly was Resilience. We shared the story 'After the Fall' and talked about how Humpty Dumpty learns to overcome his fears by keeping on trying even when things feel tough. When we face challenges, sticking with it and showing resilience helps us grow.

   

  

• Whole School Assembly - Remembrance

  Tue 11 Nov 2025

  To mark Remembrance Day, the whole school came together to participate in a 2 minute silence. We heard from different people who shared how and where they remember the sacrifices made by people who fought to preserve our freedoms. Miss Whaites played for us to mark the start and end of our silence.

  We would also like to thank Liara and Phoebe who have been selling poppies over the last week, from which all donations go to the Royal British Legion.

  

• Whole School Assembly - Anti-Bullying Week starts with🧦Odd Socks Day🧦

  Mon 10 Nov 2025

  Today launched this year's Anti-Bullying week.
  
  All of the children have found out about why we are wearing odd socks today. They have watched this year's video about empowerment. That it is important to speak up about in-person and online bullying and that their power can be used for good to end bullying.
  The video can be found by following this link:

  The children in KS2 have looked at the topic of bullying in a bit more detail. They have discussed the different roles involved in a situation and how they can speak up to stop this. Below is the link to the video they have watched which may help you discuss this topic at home.

Ollie talked about the importance of being safe around fireworks and the dangers they pose in the wrong hands.

• BRIGHT Assembly - Belief

  Wed 05 Nov 2025

  In the week's BRIGHT we read 'The Cave' by Rob Hodgson. We talked about the times we need to believe in ourselves (just like the 'cave creatures' in the story) so we can be brave and do things out of our own comfort zone. When we do this, exciting things can happen!
