Hello all,

After Bonfire Night, we went outside to our school playground to take a closer look at the ashes left behind from our bonfire. The children were fascinated to see what was left after the flames had gone out. They used lots of great describing words — “grey,” “soft,” “dusty,” — to talk about what they could see and feel. It was a lovely opportunity to explore the changes that happen when things are burned, and to use our senses to observe closely like little scientists!

We also shared our firework experiences from the weekend. The children were very excited to tell us about the fireworks they had seen and heard — “bangs,” “whooshes,” “crackles,” and “sparkles” filled our classroom as we talked! Some children spoke about the colours they liked best, while others described how they watched from their gardens or wrapped up warm with their families.

Our focus story was 'Room on the broom' by Julia Donaldson.

Cyber Safety Presentation

We would like to invite all parents and carers to attend a Cyber Safety Presentation led by the Police team next Wednesday between 2:00pm and 3:00pm. The presentation will offer valuable, practical advice on protecting yourself, your family and your data online. It will also explain how parents can help children make safe and responsible choices when using technology.

Have a great weekend!
