Remembrance Service , by Mrs Kellett
Date: 16th Nov 2015 @ 9:57pm
Last week,on Remembrance Day, we held our own service in our school hall. Mrs Hutchens led our service. Mrs Hutchens is one of our TAs who spent some time in the miltary in the past. She told the children all about being in the army and how she had lost friends in conflict. She really helped the children learn about the importance of remembering.
The whole school observed 2 minutes silence, while our talented Mr Westhead played the 'Last Post' on the trumpet. It was a lovely service and the children were really mature, thoughtful and realised the importance of remembering all the people who have lost their lives in conflict.

Every day in school we have worship together but today it was very different. Today worship was led by our Ethos Council. They chose the songs, the prayers and the bible reading. It is so scary to get up and talk in front of 396 children and all our staff. I am extremely proud of them all.

Today Daniel and Lily both brought some items in to show the class.
Over the weekend, Daniel climbed Mount Snowdon! We have been learning lots about volcanoes over the past few weeks so it was fantastic for Daniel to show off the rocks he collected and talk about the experience.
Lily brought in a scrapbook which was made when she was in nursery. It was lovely to see the photos and collages she made. We also spotted Charlie on one of the photos!

Crucial Crew, by Mrs Atherton
Date: 20th Oct 2015 @ 7:03pm
The Year 5 children have been a credit to the school today attending the Crucial Crew event at Langtree Park. Miss Stubbs and Mrs Atherton would like to express how very proud we were of their behaviour. 
Below is a brief overview of their day, please ask your children what they have learned in their workshops.
Crucial Crew 20th October, 2015
Year 5 attended six workshops at Crucial Crew, these were:
- Road safety.
- E-safety.
- Accidents in the home.
- Fire safety.
- Train safety.
- The Ranger service.
In the road safety session, the children attended a ‘RTA’ (road traffic accident), they had to investigate what had happened and infer the possible causes of the accident. They then decided what steps could be taken to avoid this type of accident happening again.
For E-Safety, the children watched a video that highlighted the dangers of the internet, they then discussed how they could stay safe on line and what to do if they ever felt unsafe.
The children were also made aware of how to identify hazards that could cause accidents in the home. They were taught how to make an emergency call and what numbers to call for emergency and non-emergency (999 and 101). Hoax calls were explained as a waste of time and resources.
The Fire Department showed a ‘mock-up’ video of a boy being injured on Bonfire night, this was based on a true story. They then discussed the dangers of fireworks and the children were made aware of STOP, DROP and ROLL if clothing catches fire.
The British Transport Police explained the best ways to cross rail tracks, such as bridges or subways, the group used the models to spot dangers around train tracks. At a railway station, the importance of staying behind the yellow line was explained. Photographs that showed damage from stone throwing were given to the children to make them think of consequences of actions.
The Ranger Service explained all the services that the Rangers provide and gave the children an awareness of hazards that may arise in local parks, such as: not swimming in ponds or lakes, fires, strangers, needles or syringes, broken glass and litter and climbing trees.
