Bullying is something we take very seriously as a school, we are joining the anti-bullying week campaign, Power for good.
We are kicking off with Odd Socks Day, where we all wear socks odd socks to celebrate what makes us unique!
The campaign aims to empower young people to use their power for good, encouraging them to safely speak up to bullying.
Other class activities will include hand massage, making friendship bracelets, creating a 'I need a friend' corner/area in the playground, a sensory tuff tray 'a recipe for kindness'.

Remembrance Day
On Tuesday, as a school and a community we remembered and honoured all those who have fought for peace.
As a school we took part in various activities and learnt about the significance of the day.

Remember, remember…
Bonfire night is such an exciting event in the autumn calendar, but loud fireworks and bright lights can be stressful for children who are sensitive to these.
If your family will be attending any Bonfire night events here are a few tips:
1. Prepare your child so they know what to expect
2. Bring sunglasses or noise-cancelling headphones.
3. Attend a low-bang fireworks display if you can.
4. Watch from a distance.
5. Safety first: keep a safe distance, don’t touch fireworks or drop sparklers on the ground.
6. Take deep breaths.
7. Bring distractions.
8. Focus on the FUN.
