Learning to Stay Safe: Year 6 Attend Crucial Crew

As part of the Year 6 transition programme, pupils took part in an informative and engaging afternoon at Crucial Crew, learning a range of important life skills to help keep themselves safe. Throughout the event, the children explored fire safety with Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service, including how to identify potential fire hazards, while Brave Futures led thoughtful discussions about personal boundaries and consent. Pupils also gained valuable first aid knowledge from the East Anglian Air Ambulance, learned about water safety and how to call for help from the RNLI, and discussed the risks of addiction with Foundations: Young People's Drug and Alcohol Service. Other workshops highlighted the dangers of electricity in the community, the importance of cherishing and protecting Suffolk's natural habitats with Wildlife Wise, and ways to stay safe online with Suffolk Police. The afternoon provided our children with practical knowledge, confidence and awareness, helping them to make safe and responsible choices as they prepare for the next stage of their education.

The Lion King Comes to Life in Class SB

As part of our Friday afternoon enrichment sessions, Class SB has been exploring the world of theatre through the story of The Lion King. Throughout the half-term, the children have learned about performance, storytelling and characterisation. To celebrate the end of our topic, the children used the shadow puppets they had created in class while their classmates narrated the script, working together to put on a wonderful shadow theatre performance. It was fantastic to see their creativity, confidence and teamwork shine through as they shared their learning in such an engaging way.

Reflections on Spirituality

As part of our R.E. learning, the children in Class SB have been exploring the meaning of spirituality and what it means to each of us as individuals. We reflected on a range of key questions, thinking carefully about our beliefs, feelings, experiences and the world around us. The children shared some thoughtful and inspiring responses, which are on display in our classroom for everyone to reflect upon. As you read their ideas, take a moment to consider: how would you respond to these questions?

Class KN Art

 

Class KN have create wonderful drawings using oil pastels, showing great thought and care in their use of colour and contrast. They were inspired by David Hockney’s 20 Flowers and Some Bigger Pictures series, particularly his vibrant colours, bold compositions and close observation of flowers. It has been lovely to see them take inspiration from Hockney’s work and develop these ideas in their own creative way. They should feel very proud of the imaginative and thoughtful artwork they have created.
