F1 have created and explored poppies in different ways today, to remember our fallen soldiers. We spoke about why we celebrate Remembrance Day. The children made me really proud when they all stayed quiet to show their respects during the two minutes silence!
On Monday, 10th November, we are holding a KS1 ODD SOCKS Sponsored Walk!
The event will take place during the school day around the playground/field. We will be asking children to walk a mile with their friends!
All Children are welcome to wear odd socks (spotty, stripy, colourful socks etc).
All money raised will be split between our crew charity, ‘RSPCA’ and within our school community as part of KS1’s current expedition, ‘How will I be a Hero in my Community?’
We are encouraging children to raise a small amount towards our fundraising projects as part of the sponsored walk. All children who raise money will receive a certificate.
It was lovely to have some grown ups visit us for Crew this week during our snuggle and story. We shared books with our Y6 book buddies, swapped books and listened to a Autumnal story from Mr Meade! #LovePlover
This week F1 have been learning all about hedgehogs. We used a variety of different materials to create our own hedgehogs including paint, glue/leaves and clay. There has been some absolutely beautiful artwork, all the children have worked so hard!
Today, we deepened our knowledge about hedgehogs. We learnt that hedgehogs are nocturnal meaning they are only awake and move around at night time in the dark. Other vocabulary we used included camouflage and predators. I wonder if the children can explain what the hedgehogs have to protect themselves? We then used our D&T skills to create clay hedgehogs. Look at those sharp spines! #LovePlover
Today we made clay creatures. Some children made hedgehogs and some made owls. They used different media and tools. I was very impressed with what they made.
This week we have been learning about Autumn and the celebrations we celebrate during this period. Last week many of the children celebrated halloween. Yesterday we went on an Autumnal walk to spot the signs of Autumn. We’ve created autumnal animals. Today we had a camp fire and learnt about the history of bonfire night and how we stay safe around bonfires, fireworks and sparklers. Then we created some bonfire art. #LovePlover
Emorie in 3G and her mum are showing real kindness by raising money to support people with caner by organising a ‘Sponsored Hair Chop’.
This is their very personal reason for taking this charitable challenge:
“This one’s for our beautiful friend, Chloe ❤️
Emorie and I have decided to do a sponsored hair chop to raise money for Chloe, who is facing cancer with incredible courage and strength. She truly is an inspiration.
Chloe is currently undergoing treatment and facing the toughest fight of her life.
As Chloe has been losing her hair through treatment, we wanted to stand beside her — so we’re giving up our hair in solidarity, raising funds to help her through her journey
We’ll also be donating our hair in Chloe’s name to help others who need wigs after losing theirs, so this little act of love can go even further.
Every penny raised will go directly towards helping Chloe and her family during this time. She is such a devoted amazing mum to her little boy and deserves to feel like herself again.
If you’re able to donate or share, any amount will help, no matter how big or small — it would mean the world to us
I can also accept cash donations this week on the school run, or if you’d like to donate another way, please send me a message.
We’ve got 21 days to raise as much as we can before our chop, so please give whatever you can
Thankyou for all your kindness and generosity”
If you would like to support Emorie in raising as much money as possible, here is the link to their Go Fund Me page;
Today we wore red. To educate ourselves and the community to say no to racism! We are all humans, we may have different colour skin, come from different cultures, speak different languages… but we all have a heart! We all can and should spread kindness to everyone, as we are all humans! #LovePlover
On Wednesday we enjoyed a beautiful dance workshop, where we learnt about the celebrations that occur around Diwali. We wore some bright sarees and cultural clothing to embrace their dancing traditions. #LovePlover
