Busy Bees!

This week has been exceptionally busy with several important events; all of which contain valuable messages for us all to remember. 

On Monday, the school children arrived wearing odd socks to show their support for the important message of Anti-Bullying. They undertook some tasks to reinforce why anti-bullying is so vital in schools and peer mentors alongside staff ensured children were supported with their minor problems where relationships had been strained. Pupils fall out with each other all the time, but it is about ensuring children are taught to be reflective, empathetic and restorative. 

Mrs. Angel also held a briefing to parents in Year 4 around the Multiplication Check coming up later in the year. Thank you to those parents who came and shared in recognising that children knowing all their times tables earlier really prepares them for mathematics further along in education. 

On Wednesday, our two schools, Church, Royal British Legion and members of the wider community came together to commemorate Remembrance Day. I thought our Junior Leaders were amazingly clear with their readings and the contributions from each class were fantastic. Another significant event that we must always keep children remembering. Well done everyone!

On Friday, Children in Need enabled all the pupils to come to school in non-uniform, There were lots of yellow Pudsey ears and costumes being worn. I just hope the national campaign raises even more money than last year. 

I took some time to prepare our bees for Winter. The sugary feed was put on and the brood box was removed. The Queen has been doing well, so let us hope she can keep the hive going over the cold season until Spring. 

Next week, we have lots more exciting things to look forward to and even more engaging learning to broaden our minds with. 

Have a great weekend everyone!
