Learning with a difference
Seen as it was a lovely sunny day and we needed to ensure we kept to our social distance measures in place 😯 decided to do their Math’s lesson outside. The lesson was about speed and distance, the class warmed up before being timed completing one full lap of the field going the fastest they could. Next lesson they are aiming to check each others speeds and differences and maybe another race!!

There is an updated information sheet below which we have adapted from another school which we thought was really clear and straight forward in terms of what to do if your child displays any symptoms. If in any doubt please don’t hesitate to get in touch with school but can I please remind you of the importance of contacting school if your child is going to be absent.
Secondly, I am so proud of how well your children have adapted to their first week back and the changes we have introduced. They have been amazing in how well they have engaged in their education and the adjustments we have made and will continue to have to make.
Hazel have had a brilliant week exploring all the magic of Roald Dahl’s stories.
Today we finished with an adventure to Willy Wonka’s factory.
We created our own Wonka bars and designed our own wrappers. Hazel class were brilliant at remembering to wash their hands and keep their work space and equipment clean.
We then ended the day with a tea party to celebrate Roald Dahl’s birthday.. Oh and not to forget Miss Robson’s.
Have a lovely weekend!
Rights 13 – (I have the right to share information)
On return to school 8O, with Miss Oliver and support staff, started to create a wonderful heart shaped rainbow to demonstrate and express how the Covid19 lockdown affected them. The pupils shared information on what it was they enjoyed the most from being at home or even when they returned to school. During this they used the skills of colour alterations and Publisher to change the effects of the picture. The project is based around
“It’s not about waiting for a storm to pass it’s about learning how to dance in the rain!”
Hazel class have enjoyed a week of Roald Dahl fun.
We learnt about the different stories and characters in them.
Each day we completed different activities relating to a character. Our favourite stories were ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’ and ‘The Enormous crocodile’.
We made fizzing medicine in science.
Mrs Convery really didn’t want to drink the medicine.
Then edible potions in cookery.
We enjoyed eating the potions after to see what happened. One pupil turned into a sheep and started to baa.
We also stopped the enormous crocodile from eating the farm animals by spelling the word before the crocodile went snap.
“Come with us and you’ll see a world of pure imagination”
Keep a look out for tomorrows adventure, I wonder if anyone can find a golden ticket?

Good Afternoon
This week all students will be issued with a new Office365 account which replaces the accounts the students had before September 2020.
All Secondary students will be shown how to access their email and the TEAMS app in their Computing lessons, which will support learning from home.
Primary students accounts will be forwarded to parents/carers to allow access to TEAMS for home learning.
Going forward TEAMS will continue to be the platform we use to provide work for students at home should they need it.
If you have any questions please contact your childs’ pastoral teacher.
Hazel class had their first piece of homework at the weekend, where they had to find photographs of different things they had enjoyed playing and learning during lock down. (Article 13: I have the right to find out and share information)
On Monday we spoke about why we were off school, what lock down meant and they things we had to do to keep ourselves and others safe. Hazel pupils talked about making rainbows and clapping to say thank you every week.
We then went on to talk about all the positives to come out of lock down. Such as going on lots of walks with our families.
We shared all of our photographs of the different things we had learnt and enjoyed doing, before making a display to remember all of the fun we had.
If you have online safety concerns you can contact the NSPCC on the number below or via their online support tool.
If you need to report concerns around online content or communication the school website has a link to CEOP who can offer support and guidance.
The PSHE curriculum has been adapted post Covid and today, Y10 students explored their journey of emotions pre, post and during lockdown and the positive and negative effect the pandemic has had on their mental health and well-being. They also recognised the positive coping strategies they employed during lockdown to help them cope – excellent work Y10, you were very mature in sharing your feelings and listening to others.
