Fidget toys

A polite reminder to check with school staff before sending in any fidget toys. We have school approved fidget manipulatives for pupils to use should they be needed in class or around school. We also work with the school nursing team to provide support in this area. Children may need to use a manipulative to aid their concentration for a short period of time, or to support with a particular sensory need or anxiety. It is important that school staff are aware of such needs so that we can support pupils with effective strategies to overcome any barriers at particular times.

Please see Mrs Williams our SEND lead or Miss Darmanin our Mental Health lead, but always discuss with your child’s class teacher in the first instance to ensure we can work together to best support pupils.

Thank you.

Remembrance Day

We made our own Remembrance Day wreath using scraps of red fabric and then tied them onto a conifer wreath. We walked to the War Memorial at St Luke’s Church, Hodnet to lay the wreath we had made. We looked at the names on the war memorial.

Vegetable Soup

When we were learning the phoneme v we all bought in our favourite vegetables, we counted them and made equal amounts on our own tens frames. We then created observational drawings of the vegetables and cut them up to put in a class soup. We talked about how the vegetables had changed when they had been cooked.

Remembrance

Today on Remembrance day, we held our daily assembly at 10.45am and included a two minutes silence at 11 o’clock. Many of our children had participated in Remembrance services or parades on Remembrance Sunday and were very knowledgeable and respectful as expected.

We watched this BBC clip about Remembrance. 

We watched this video in silence during our two minutes silence.

Our Y5/6 children who were swimming held their two minutes silence at the pool side.

This afternoon our Reception children walked to the Cenotaph to lay a handmade wreath and children in other classes marked the occasion through class discussion, reading and art.

Learning about Diwali

We had a wonderful few days learning about the celebration Diwali. We learnt about the story behind Diwali of the Evil Ravana who represents dark and Rama and Sita who represent light. During the three days we learnt about how children who are in the Hindu culture celebrate and prepare for the festival. We made sweets called coconut barfi, measuring and mixing carefully. We also made diva lamps from clay and created rangoli patterns. We enjoyed reading a story book about a little girl who was preparing for Diwali.
