• Be Kind – Assembly this week

  Fri 05 Dec 2025

  In our assembly this week, we talked to the children about gender stereotypes. This complemented the children’s understanding of the protected characteristic of sex. I started by reading the book, “Dogs don’t do Ballet” to try to get them to understand and thought about the limitations put on the dog in the story.  Firstly, we thought about what a stereotype is and tried to define it and then discussed what a gender stereotype might be. The children were really good at thinking about different examples of gender stereotypes that they could of. We looked at the history of gender stereotypes and where they came from and why they do not have place in society today.  A really interesting assembly and one that sparked lots of interesting discussion.

  

• Be Ready – Year 3 making Shadufs

  Fri 05 Dec 2025

  The children in year 3 have ben learning about Ancient Egypt in their topic work this half term. They have learnt lots about mummification, who the famous explorers were and where Egypt is in relation to where they live. This week, the children have been learning about Egyptian tools and how they used Shadufs to collect water from the Nile. They have really enjoyed the topic and they particularly enjoyed making Shadufs in D and T this week. They had to think about different lever mechanisms and plan how they would make their own. The end products were really good and I am sure they will enjoy evaluating their effectiveness next week.

  

• Be Ready – Year 6 rowing festival

  Fri 05 Dec 2025

  Mrs Davie took a group of year 6 children to a rowing festival this week. She said that they were such a lovely group to take out of school. She said, “the emphasis of the whole event was on team work as both the boys and girls had to work together to improve their performance across a range of speed and endurance relays. Because they cooperated so well and encouraged each other, both teams beat their initial time and distance. It was great to see the progress but also watch them having an enjoyable time.” Sounds like a super event.

  

• Be Ready – Year 5 World War 2 day

  Fri 05 Dec 2025

  Wow, what a fantastic day year 5 had yesterday. We invited Jason King and Chris Reynolds to deliver an action-packed World War 2 day to the children. Jason brought is a range of artefacts for the children to explore. The focus of the day was on the Blitz and what to do in an air raid. They looked at information from the day, they were able to try on different outfits from the war and find out what it was like to be an air raid warden. They found out information about actual people who lived during the war and what happened to them during the Blitz and then visited the air raid shelter in Lady Bay. What a fantastic day and what a super way to enrich their topic.
