Pirates!
Year 2 had a great day on Monday when everyone dressed up as a pirate. The children looked fearsome in their costumes! We played pirate games, role played some pirate activities and wrote about a day in the life of a pirate.
Year 2
Success at Schneider Electric
Year 2 & 6 visited Schneider Electric this week for an engineering competition. The children had to compete in a variety of vehicle-based challenges including ramp climbs, distance events and interviews discussing their designs with real life engineers. A Year 6 team from Cannon Park won the Best Engineer award and Year 2 were awarded a runner up prize. Despite the rain, a fantastic day of learning was enjoyed by all.
We’re Internet Legends!
Year 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 had a special assembly from Parent Zone, where the children travelled to Interland and learned how to be Google Internet Legends:
- Be Internet Sharp:
- think before sharing,
- evaluate whether a piece of information is private or not,
- and think who will be able to see what is shared.
- Be Internet Alert:
- if an offer is too good to be true, is it a phishing scam?
- think what is real and what is fake,
- and think critically about information found online, is is true and is it from a trusted website?
- Be Internet Secure:
- keep personal information safe by creating unique passwords, combining characters, numbers and symbols.
- Be Internet Kind:
- spread positivity online,
- speak up against and report bullying,
- identify inappropriate behaviour.
- Be Internet Brave:
- when witnessing something inappropriate online, speak to a trusted adult about any concerns.
National Handwriting Day
The children were keen to show off their best handwriting today as part of National Handwriting Day. Both the staff and children have been working hard to think of creative methods to develop handwriting.
Children in Need
What a day! Everyone looked amazing in their bright colours today – special mention to Mr Kelley for that shirt! Thanks to the generosity of our parents and families, the bring-n-buy sale was a great success! Our School Council, led did a brilliant job in organising the event. Be prepared for some creative Christmas gifts from the children this year.
Phonics
Year 2 have been outside today learning our common exception words. The children have loved using chalk to help them learn the words.
Natural Art
Year 2 were inspired by the art work of Andy Goldsworthy. The children went out into the school grounds to find natural materials to use in their work. They collected lots of leaves, twigs, seeds and stones. They then worked together as a team to make natural art. What do you think?
Come on England!
World Cup fever has spread across the school today as everyone dressed in red and white to support England against Tunisia this evening.
