Odd Socks Day—Anti-Bullying Week
Fri 11 Nov 2022On Monday 14th November, as part of Anti -Bullying Week, we are having an Odd Socks Day. We would like the children to come into school wearing odd socks. They can be as bright and colourful as they like! The aim of Odd Socks Day is to celebrate children’s individuality and allow them to express themselves in a creative, inclusive way. No funny costumes are required, no money is being raised, we will simply be wearing different socks. The theme of Anti-Bullying Week 2022 is ‘The Change Starts With Us’ and Odd Socks Day is a great way of expressing this.

Fri 04 Nov 2022The year 6 children had a fantastic trip to The Lincolnsfield Centre this week, where they participated in a 1940's experience.
This included a visit to the 1940's classroom where they were told about the punishments and rules that they used to have at school, followed by a tour around 1940's house, where they had a chance to play with lots of 1940's toys and dress up in 1940's clothing.
They visited the museum, where they got to ask question about the war.
They also visited "Dig the Victory" garden and watched the "Blitz" scene. They finished off by having a lesson in an air raid shelter.
