Online Safety - Violent Content Online
Around 70% of teenagers say they’ve seen real-life violence on social media in the past year. Violent content online isn’t just something young people are occasionally stumbling across – in many cases, it’s becoming a routine part of their digital world. From fights and stabbings to toxic ideologies , disturbing videos are often just a click away on social media or group chats. This week’s #WakeUpWednesday guide highlights the unseen risks this poses to children’s mental health , sense of safety, and social behaviours. With insights from a leading expert , it offers practical ways for parents and educators to respond with empathy and support – not punishment or panic.
Year 1 - Story Time - Year 5 Sharing Their Books
What a fantastic learning experience! Our Year 5 students recently shared their incredible D.T. moving mechanism books with an eager audience of Year 1 pupils. It was wonderful to see the older children proudly demonstrate their designs and explain how their mechanisms worked, while the younger children were captivated and full of brilliant questions. A truly inspiring example of collaboration and creativity across the year groups!
Nursery - Maths - Colour Recognition
The children showed immediate engagement with the light table, drawn by the vibrant colours of the splats and blocks. The task of identifying and matching colours was readily embraced by the group, successfully placing coloured blocks onto their corresponding splats demonstrating strong colour recognition and matching skills.As they built their towers, children began counting the blocks. Some using scattered number language, with many children accurately counting their blocks up to at least three, and some extending beyond that. Towards the end of the activity, the concept of comparing height emerged naturally. Children pointed to and discussed the "tallest" and "smallest" towers they had built or observed. The activity successfully provided a multi-faceted opportunity for mathematical exploration through hands-on, sensory play.

Pre-School- R.E- Daniel And The Lion
In our R.E lesson today the children have listened to the story of Daniel and the Lion. The children learnt how Daniels trust in God and pray saved him from being eaten by the lions. The children asked questions about the story and then went on to create their own pictures of Daniel and the lions in the den. The children had the opportunity to role play with the lions and a person we named Daniel.

This week has been SATs week for Year 6, we have started each day with a class breakfast and completed our final preparations together. The class have worked so hard, and this has been a great opportunity for them to showcase their learning!
Reception - Maths - Rotating Shapes
In Maths, we have been thinking about how we can use our words to describe shapes. Today we rotated our shapes in our hands and discovered that even when they are rotated they keep their shape. The children then enjoyed creating patterns and pictures with shapes. They needed to rotate the shapes to fit them in the correct part of the picture.
Year 4 Maths - Money
Year 4 have been putting their calculation, decimal and conversion skills to the test in Maths this week, looking at money.
Pre-School- Physical Development- Outdoor Fun
In outdoor learning this week we have been creating potions exploring different textures with natural materials, flowers, herbs, looking at what sinks or floats in the water and making stirring and pouring actions. Mixing potions encourages the children's imaginative play and helps develop their language skills. The children linked to our story adding in magic jelly beans. The children used the balance bikes to develop their gross motor skills and used their skills from P.E to move around children to not bang into each other. The children have been using the tree rope to pull themselves up on the rope and swing on it, it has taken some time to build up their upper arm strength to hold themselves up on the rope. The children enjoyed using different water tools to create marks on the windows and floors and talked about the marks they created.
