Students and staff wore anything spotty for @bbccin Children in Need today, with a £1 donation towards the charity. Activities in class were all ‘spotty’ themed!
BBC Children in Need funds support for young people struggling with challenges related to mental health, family issues, inequality and poverty.

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.
