P4C what makes us human?

In our Philosophy For Children session this week we had to agree on a hierarchy of things that makes us human. Can you be human without love? Does a good human need an active body and healthy mind? Some great discussion points.


Challenge Me

Our Sport's Ambassadors in year 6 have helped to support our football challenges this week.

I wonder who the winner is?


World Book Day events 2024

World Book Day is celebrated between 7th-8th March and children may dress up on Friday 8th in their World Book Day costumes or in their own comfy clothes- please remember to bring in your favourite book from home to read.   The Reading Ambassadors and Librarians have set a World Book Day competition. Your child needs to create a new front cover for their class text which they are reading this half term.


Which high school did you get?

Today our year 6s found out which high school they will be attending in September. Most of the cohort are going to Rayner Stephens and they received a special welcome pack today! We hope everyone is happy with their choices. 


Philosophy For Children

Today we started our P4C sessions about building resillience to extremism through enquiry. Our first session today was about identity and what is important about being ourselves. We had to choose 6 qualities that are important to us. These included things like being human, a niece, a brother, a friend, a reader, a footballer and a dog sister.

After lots of discussion we came up with two lines of enquiry but decided to discuss the question about hobbies and the school day. It was interesting listening to different viewpoints.

Well done year 6.


Sean Perkins visit

We met author and illustrator Sean Perkins today who read us his book 'Ben and Oscar birthday party' 

He was very creative and used sound effects to narrate his story. We even enjoyed a sing song with his guitar to finish.

Please remember that you can order one or both of his signed books. Bring in your slip and money next week.
