Anti-bullying week November 2021 - One Kind Word!
This week we have spent time exploring this year's anti-bullying message 'One Kind Word'. On Monday we began with our Odd Socks Day, celebrating the fact that we are all different and wonderfully unique and that this is something to be celebrated. It was fantastic to see such an array of colourful socks around the school! On Thursday we held our 'Random Acts of Kindness' day in school. We began the day with a lovely worship form Matt the new vicar at St Saviour's who reminded us that showing love for others costs nothing but can make such a big difference. As a school we embarked on the challenge of carrying out as many random acts of kindness as possible - and I am delighted to say that as a school we managed to carry out a truly amazing 652 acts of kindness in a single day! Many of these were simple things such as holding a door open, giving someone a smile, thanking someone and I hope that you noticed the children were extra helpful at home too! I loved receiving a beautifully made word hug from the children in Reception class - it really did make my day! Throughout the week staff have carried out activities to explore kindness through our behaviour, word choices and also online activity. We hope that the children will remember to carry this forward. Year 6 have explored the idea that 'In a world where we can be anything, we can be kind' - a great message for everyone to be reminded of!
THE ART OF BEING BRILLIANT
It has been wonderful to welcome author Will Hussey into school this week. He has worked with years 4, 5 and 6 to explore each one of them can become even more brilliant than they already are. They have explored themes of positivity and gratitude, whilst also considering how they learn and how they can change their mindset. All of the work we have done is to help the children become the very best version of themselves that they can be. Hopefully everyone will remember the key message which is 'Do it better than you have to!'
Thanks Will for three fantastic days - we can't wait to welcome you back into school in the Summer term to show you how brilliant we have become!

Year 3 had a great day working with South Ribble Borough Council Active Health team this week learning about how being physically active can help to improve our wellbeing. The children worked on resilience and teamwork when playing football on an inflatable pitch followed by learning a dance routine centred around self belief and empowerment. As a final treat, the children had an amazing time playing their new bouncy castle and slide.

Year 2
In Year 2, we were lucky to have lots of visitors in class. We met architects, care assistants, shop workers, paramedics and fire-fighters. They told us about their jobs and what skills you need to do their job. We also went on a walk in the local community to speak to people about their jobs. We met a supermarket manager, florist, estate agent, butcher, charity shop worker, pharmacist and postman on our travels. Back in class, we completed a range of challenges linked to jobs including tasks on the class construction sit, creating job adverts and lots of measuring activities. Thank you to everyone that helped during the week, especially parents and grandparents that gave up their free time to speak to the class!

Year One
Year 1 made two pages for the newspaper about the local area. We used our work from our walk around Bamber Bridge to explain what we saw and found out and how the village has changed over the years.
YEAR 5 NEWSPAPER WEEK
In Newspapers Special Interest Week, Year 5 looked at newspaper advertising. We had already been studying persuasive writing in English so first we looked at how persuasive techniques could be adapted to adverts.
Next, we made a poster to advertise the Christmas Cracker concert all together and learned lots of ways to use IT to make our posters attractive and eye-catching. This joint effort was to go in the school newspaper. After that, we had a go at making our own adverts.
Once we had mastered the techniques, we all made a poster to advertise the infant nativity called The Bethlehem Star. Mrs Taylor chose her favourite to put in the paper. Charlie was picked. Well done, Charlie!
We also watched a video that showed us how newspapers are made today, largely using computers, and then another video that showed us how they did it before computers. We discussed the differences, advantages and disadvantages.
We made some silhouette pictures using newspaper too.
