• Anti-Bullying Week

  Mon 22 Nov 2021

  Room 4 celebrated Anti-Bullying Week last week by decorating their kindness tree. First they discussed all the ways they could help others to feel happy and appreciated in school, then they drew pictures of themselves being kind. They also read the picture book The Good Egg, which reminds us how to be kind to ourselves, as well as to others.

  

• Junior Parkrun

  Mon 22 Nov 2021

  Mr Ryden was delighted to see a number of our girls taking part in the junior parkrun at Victoria Park when he was volunteering there yesterday. Out of the 67 children there, Abbie from Room 14 finished in 6th position and Abigail from Room 13 finished in 12th and got a new PB. Abigail's younger sister, Beth, also took part for the first time which is amazing as she is only in P1. Well done girls!

  

• Odd Socks Day

  Mon 15 Nov 2021

  We enjoyed taking part in Odd Socks Day today, the first day of Anti-Bullying Week. Odd Socks Day is a chance for the children to celebrate Anti-Bullying Week in a positive way by wearing odd socks for the day. It's to symbolise that we are all different and that children should be themselves, accepting of one another and celebrate difference.
