Odd Socks Day, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 22nd Nov 2023 @ 5:49pm
The children wore odd socks last week to celebrate our differences. We talked about how we are all unique and that nobody should be bullied for being different to somebody else. Anti-bullying week this year focused on 'making a noise' and using our voices when we see, hear or experience any form of bullying. We listened to some great songs by Andy and the Odd Socks and celebrated our differences.

Birkenhead Park, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 22nd Nov 2023 @ 5:24pm
Year 1 had a great time visiting Birkenhead Park. We looked at the signs of Autumn and learned a lot about the wildlife in the park. The children collected leaves, acorns, conkers and fir cones to bring back to school. We talked about the seeds from the trees and why some trees stay green right through the Winter, when others lose their leaves. We watched the squirrels and the ducks, and talked about what they eat. The Park Ranger, Hannah, told us all about the roles of a Ranger and we helped her to feed the ducks (and the pigeons!). We had a great time exploring the park and taking on the role of a Park Keeper (Ranger) just like Percy the Park Keeper in our English work.

Today Y3 spent some time reflecting on the meaning behind poppies. We spoke about what Remembrance Day symbolises and why we remember the soldiers on the 11th Day of the 11th Month every year. The children joined together for a 2 minute silence and also created their own poppies to share the meaning of poppies with their friends and families ❤️
