Harvest Worship, by Mrs Kellett
Date: 22nd Oct 2015 @ 10:20pm
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!

Today we had the opportunity to play on Comando Joe's inflatables!

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.

We have been learning all about volcanoes for the past few weeks in P3 and our children have produced some incredible work both inside and outside of school.
Thank you to Kaitlyn, Charlie, Troy and Kady who brought their volcanoes work in to show us today! It's fantastic to see that you have enjoyed this topic so much!
Star of the week!, by Miss McCormack
Date: 19th Oct 2015 @ 6:51pm
This week Scarlett Latta was our star of the week! Scarlett produced an excellent information text about volcanoes this week. I was so impressed that she managed to include all of the features which we have been learning about. Keep up the fantastic work Scarlett!
Special Visitor , by Mrs Kellett
Date: 15th Oct 2015 @ 10:53pm
Today, we had a visitor in school. His name was Mr Edge. We spent the morning going in and out of classes looking at teaching and learning. He wanted me to pass on his thanks to the children for making him feel so welcome and he was so impressed with our children. He said 'They are a real credit to you, the school and their parents'.
Another proud headteacher moment. Well done children

Worship - Brave and Mighty Gideon , by Mrs Kellett
Date: 13th Oct 2015 @ 11:46pm
Today in worship we heard all about how brave and mighty Gideon was and how despite his fear, he never stopped listening to God. We then sang some of our favourite songs. It was lovely to spend some time enjoying ourselves in the hall! I am going to ask one of the teachers next time to video the children singing because it truly is amazing!
International Languages day!! , by Miss Glover

International Languages Day
On the 29th September Queen's Park celebrated international languages day!
We all had so much fun learning all about Italy and the children loved coming in to school wearing the Italian flag colours.
A big thank you to Mrs Taylor for planning lots of lovely things around the school.
Year One learnt some Italian phases, an Italian dance with Miss Emma and ate some beautiful Italian food at dinner time. We also made some lovely Venetian masks after learning a little about Venice- a city in Italy!
Check out some pictures from the day!
Star of the week!, by Miss McCormack

This week we had two well deserved winners for star of the week!
Aiden Walsh has been working extremely hard on his handwriting and presentation skills. Both Miss McCormack and Aiden have noticed a difference in his work. Keep practising Aiden!
Aleyna Padak is a shining example to the rest of P3. She is always ready to learn and tries her very best in every lesson, even if she finds it difficult. Keep up the hard work Aleyna!

Say No to Bullying , by Mrs Kellett
Date: 7th Oct 2015 @ 10:44pm
In today's worship we looked at the 10 Commandments and the guidance God gaves us to live by. We then looked at our school rules and how we treat each other in school. I showed the children a 'blob' picture of lots of different scenarios and how it made them feel. We also spoke about how we use our hands and voices for kindness.
The children are also learning to sing 'Sing' by Gary Barlow! They sound amazing.
Saints School , by Mrs Kellett
Date: 6th Oct 2015 @ 9:25pm
This morning Q4 spent the day at Langtree Park at Saints School. The coaches praised the children's behaviour and I was proud of the way they answered questions. They tried on players' jerseys in the changing rooms, walked through the players' tunnel onto the pitch, did a training session and learned about diet and nutrition. Well done Q4 Mrs Taylor
