Monday 13th is Odd sock day in school. This is the new song from Andy and the Odd Socks for this years day. Next week in school is Anti-bullying week. Through out the week classes will be taking part in assemblies and lessons on this years theme of Make a Noise about Bullying! We have covered a range of topics in our PSHE lessons so far this year.
- I can show I am trustworthy We spent a couple of lessons exploring what it means to be trustworthy. We explored some scenarios and then created our own moral scenarios to discuss in class. - I can select my friends based on shared interests For this objective we worked through getting to know ourselves and our peers activities, including games and activities. We explored our interests and looked at what we have in common. -I can appreciate the values and points of view of others -I can stand up for what I believe in, in a non-threatening way. For these objectives we engaged in a range of class oracy tasks and debates. We completed a diamond 9 activity where we had to suggest which of our school's key character virtues we thought were the most important. As part of our RE work, whilst learning about Buddhism we had to suggest which 5 rules we felt would make the world a better place. -I have aspirations for the future We have had the opportunity to meet people who do a range of jobs for a living. We have had the opportunity to ask questions. This has given us the chance to consider what we might like to do for a living. We have met Isobel Gorst a meteorology student studying for her PHD, members of our local community policing team, our very own Mrs Fitchett who is a professional illustrator and we have had the opportunity to speak to Mrs Lawson about what it is like to be a headteacher. I can keep myself safe in a range of situations Members of our local policing team came into speak to us about staying safe, potential risks in our local environment and what to do if we find ourselves in worrying or unsafe situations.

As part of our learning about faith, British Values, respect and tolerance team JD had some visitors in school to teach them about Islamic faith. 'National Black History Month 2023 - Celebrating our sisters'
To celebrate National Black History Month, Team LF initially discussed what it means to be black and British. We focussed on Black and Mixed Heritage British women who have shaped history, learning about their achievements and accomplishments. This included influential sportswomen, politicians and activists, scientists, artists, presenters and musicians. We then dug a bit deeper into four women in particular - Rosa Parks, Nina Simone, Claudia Jones and Tessa Sanderson. We used our knowledge from Computing (systems and searching) to find out key information about these women in order to create fact files. This week is assemblies we have been focussing on racism. Monday assembly started with sharing the inspirational story of Baljaj. On friday the school community is wearing red to show our support of the Show racism the red card campaign. This week was the beginning of Black History Month.
Assemblies introduced the Month with stories about inspirational Black figures from history and today. For the youngest children in our school community we have enjoyed listening to stories about coming to live in the UK from abroad and thinking about the journeys some of our families have made to live here in Wombwell. We particularly enjoyed the story of Floella Bengamin and how she remembers her first weeks in the UK as a child. |
