Happy New Year! We hope 2018 has started well and everyone is looking forward to a brand new year which hopefully will

bring exciting challenges and learning opportunities for us all. The term got off to a great start, we spent

the first two days looking at British Values. Each year looked at a different aspect:-

Democracy

The rule of law

Individual liberty

Mutual respect and tolerance of other faiths

Year 6 launched 2018 by looking at British

Values and what they mean to us. We talked about

‘Britishness’ and realised what a great nation we

are when we rally together. Then the children

focused on Individual Liberty and how privileged

they are to have freedom of speech, actions and

choice. See our PowerPoint and corridor displays

for Year 6’s words of wisdom. The PowerPoint is

on the website in the Pupil Voice section.

Wherever you come from, black, white, male, female, tall to small, young or old, we all deserve the right to speak out. Ffion, Izzy, Ella, Lucia and Bonnie

The focus for Year 5 was Mutual Respect. After defining

what the term meant, we looked at different ways we can show

respect in the home, at school, in our community, with ourselves

and with each other. We discussed different scenarios where

respect may or not be shown and thought about how we are all

different but we must respect these differences in order to live in

one world. We then used inspiration from art work by

Kandinsky to incorporate five of the main religious symbols into

a piece of art, using the colours of the British Flag.

When looking at British Values, Year 4 focussed on Democracy. To

begin with, we considered what democracy is and related it back to

when we voted for our Pupil Voice. After learning a little more about

how democracy runs in our country, we debated whether children

should be allowed to vote (we all had differing and very interesting

ideas). We then wrote a speech as if we were campaigning to be the

next Prime Minister – many of us included our views on education,

money and what we would do to further improve our country. We then

created individual pieces of art which we will bring together to show

that in democracy, we all have different opinions, we all have our own

voice, but in being different, in using our own voices we all create a

place to live which is based on working together.

Year 3 looked at the Rule of Law and what this means in our

society. We talked about why it is important to have rules and

laws to follow. To highlight this, we created a display of police

officers painted in the style of Matisse or decorated with oil

pastels.

Always be proud of who

you are because you are

unique and special in your

own way. Never be afraid

to speak up because your voice can change the

future for the better.

Sylvie, Abi, Bella and

Niyah

Taboos are caused by grudges, which are caused by discrimination. If we remove the discrimination, we cleanse taboos. Cameron

Your light will shine just like Jesus you are important, beautiful and have a voice no matter who you are. Kai

Be happy. You have a voice, you can make others listen to you even if you’re: black, white, tall, small, old, young, male, female, Muslim, Christian or any other religion, we are all united. Millie.

Year 2 looked at themes of Tolerance of Others and Mutual Respect.

We linked this to friendship and how we treat others in school. We

each made a promise that in 2018, we would be the best friend that we

could be. Ideas included always allowing others to play with us, trying

out new games and even widening our friendship groups. We hope

that Year 2 have some very enjoyable playtimes this year.

Year 1 looked at Tolerance and Acceptance and we linked this to

friendship. We discussed how to be a good friend and accept everyone,

no matter what they look like or believe in. We looked at the story of

Ally the accepting alligator. Ally was kind and brave because she

encouraged all of her animal friends to accept everyone, regardless of

their differences. We acted out some scenarios and identified if they

were being a good friend or not a good friend.

Foundation have been learning about the importance of

Accepting Everyone no matter what we all look like, we are all

different but we all belong. We listened to a story and then worked

together to create a class display. We all talked with our buddies

about how we are different but we can all be friends.

SATs Evening

We hope that everyone who came along to the Year 2 and Year 6 meetings found them useful. The

PowerPoints are now available on the website in the curriculum section. If you would like any further

information regarding the statutory assessments, please just ask.

Year 1 Phonics Meeting

The Year 1 staff will be holding a phonics meeting on 1 February at 2.30pm in the Small Hall. The

meeting will demonstrate how we teach phonics in school, how you can support your child at home and

to give you a booklet as well as signpost helpful websites.

School Uniform

Since Christmas, there seems to be a little bit of a craze for sparkles - headbands and bows of varying

sizes. Children can only wear navy blue bands in their hair. Could you please ensure that these pretty

accessories stay at home. The school uniform list is available on the website and details the policy of no

jewellery other than watches and stud earrings as well as black shoes and plain tights/socks. Our children

always look smart and by all wearing the same uniform they will continue to do so.

Year 3 Class Worship

Mrs Riley’s class will lead the first class worship of 2018. Parents and families are invited to church at

9.00am on Thursday, 25 January.

Parent Representative Meeting
