Black History - Ruby Bridges

Ruby Bridges loved school. In 1960 she was excited to go to first grade in New Orleans, Louisiana. But many people did not want her to go to her school. They wanted only white children to go there, and Ruby is Black. Ruby did not let that stop her.


Front Row Music

John from Front Row Music came in to school today for an assembly. The children were amazed at how simple it was play the guitar and were shown how to play chords, melodies and sang along to many songs. If you're interested in taking ukukele or guitar lessons with Drew on Fridays, please ask at the school office for details. 


New Library!

The furniture for our new library has arrived and it looks so smart. Thank you for your fund raising contributions to help us make this area colourful and enticing for our pupils. The new texts look great and it inspires our pupils to use the library and explore books. 


Chess Champions

Year 5&6 have been engrossed in their first Chess session. The matches were very close but Matthew and Orson successfully won their games. 


Wellbeing Book Club

Our pupils started reading Ella on the Outside with Nechen our Mental Health Practitioner. Our pupils will read the text and share with their peers, picking up on key issues that our Wellbeing Champions can tackle in school. 


Road Safety Competition

I set a competition today for pupils to design a road safety poster for being seen as the dark nights start. All entries to me by 4th October and I will announce winners with awards the week after. Thank you. 


Wellbeing Leaders

Our new Wellbeing Leaders met today to look at their role and the qualities they need to help others in the school. Great start! 


Pupil Leaders Policy Work

Pupil Leaders started their duties today looking at our anti-bullying policy. They had some great ideas on how to prevent any kind of bullying. They will be joining me on a behaviour learning walk next week.
