Today Reception Class had a visit from Helen at Talking Teeth in Schools. She came and talked to us about our teeth and how important it is to look after them. We toook par tin lots of fun activities around dental health and we had a healthy snack too.
Breakfast Club Update
Breakfast Club Update: As of next week, Monday 24th January all children who have booked a place for breakfast club should enter school via the front office entrance. Access will not be available via the KS2 yard. As your child arrives, a member of staff will tick their name off on the breakfast club register. If there is no place booked for that child, unfortunately they will not be able to attend breakfast club. We will ask parents to return with their child at the start of the school day at 08:55. If you haven't booked a space, we also have a waiting list for the week. Please contact the school office if you wish for your child to be added to the list. We also politely ask that your child attends breakfast club once a place is booked. Failure to attend will result in us offering the place to a child on the waiting list. Unfortunately we have had to make these changes as we have too many children arriving at breakfast club without booking and the numbers exceed what we are permitted to have in the hall with regards to space and staffing.
Year 5 Art and Design.
Year 5 have been learning how to create African prints. This afternoon we are transferring our prints to blocks ready to use rollers to print our designs into our sketch books! It’s very tricky but the children are applying their growth mindset and persevering.
Year 4 Computing
Today in computing Year 4 inserted animals into cells to make a zoo. We needed to lock the cells so the lion can’t enter the cells and eat the animals!
Year 2 - DT
Year 2 have made their own finger puppets in DT.
Year 3 Art and Design.
The children have thoroughly enjoyed their Art lesson today. They had to create positive and negative prints.
National Online Safety #WakeupWednesday - Horror Games
Terrific entertainment … or just plain terrifying? Our #WakeUpWednesday guide checks the doors are locked, turns on all the lights, and tells a chilling tale of #OnlineSafety threats that children could encounter in horror games. .
Changes to Covid Regulations.
As of Monday 17th January there will be a further change to the COVID-19 isolation rules From Monday, if you are self-isolating you will have the option to reduce your isolation period to 5 FULL days. If you test negative with a lateral flow test on both day 5 and day 6 (and you do not have a temperature), you can end your isolation immediately after your day 6 test. For example, if you test negative on the morning of day 5 and the morning of day 6, you can immediately end isolation. For pupils, they would be able to return to school straight away on day 6. Please note that the first test must be taken no earlier than day 5 of the self-isolation period, and the second must be taken the following day. If the result of either of tests is positive, you should continue to self-isolate until you get negative results from two LFT tests on consecutive days or until you have completed 10 full days of self-isolation, whichever is earliest. Please contact the school office if you have any questions. Thank you.
Year 6 - Science
Year 6 are studying Light in science, and created investigations to prove that light travels in a straight line. Can you see the torchlight shining through all the holes in the cards? We discovered that the holes have to be lined up for this to occur - light doesn’t travel around corners!
Year 6 - Fire and Road Safety Visit.
Year 6 had a fantastic fire and road safety visit from the Darwen Fire Service this afternoon, and were lucky enough to get a guided tour around the fire engine afterwards!
Year 3 - Science
In Science today we have been comparing different types of soil to see how much water they absorb for a farmer. The clay loam was the best at absorbing water. We used our measuring skills to work out the volume in millilitres.
