🌾 Harvest Collective Worship🌾

Our annual Harvest Collective Worship will take place tomorrow , and as part of our celebrations we are collecting donations for our local food bank.

We would be incredibly grateful for donations of non-perishable items such as tinned goods, pasta, rice, cereals, long-life milk, tea, coffee, biscuits and snacks.

We would also love to welcome donations from our wider community. If any members of the community would like to support our Harvest collection, donations can be dropped off at the school office.

Thank you for helping us support local families. 💚🌾

🟢💛 💚Trusted Adults – Helping Our KS2 Children Feel Safe and Supported 💚💛🟢

This week, during our KS2 collective worship and PSHE lessons, we have been learning about the importance of having Trusted Adults – people we can turn to when we need help, advice or simply someone to listen.

We explored who we can go to for support both inside and outside school, including our Designated Safeguarding Leads: Mrs Smethurst, Mrs Hankinson and Mrs Pye. We discussed their important role in helping to keep children safe.

We also talked about trusted services outside school, such as Childline 0800 1111, and what children should do if they ever find themselves in immediate danger (call 999).

🟢 Sharing Our Worries

Across KS2, some classes have a special Worry Monster, while others have a Worry Box. These provide children with a way to share their worries if they don't feel comfortable talking about them.

Children can write a note to an adult or simply pop their name inside to let us know they would like a chat. We want every child to know that their voice matters and that there is always someone ready to listen.

🏡 A little conversation for home: Why not ask your child who their trusted adults are? Can they name someone they would talk to in school and someone outside school if they ever had a worry?

Our message to every child is simple: You are never alone. There is always someone who will listen, help and support you. 💛

Belong, Believe, Be the Best You Can Be.

Today, we welcomed Councillor Adam Brierley, a local town councillor, to speak to our children in assembly. Adam talked to the children about the importance of having people to represent us and how we can all play a part in making our community a better place.

This was a lovely way to celebrate the launch of this year’s School Council! If your child would like to stand for School Council, Miss Scott has posted some helpful support and guidance on Dojo- School Story to help them prepare their speech.

We will be announcing the successful candidates in assembly next Friday (2nd). Good luck to all of our Class candidates! 🌟
