This years' Anti-Bullying Week theme, 'Power for Good' has come about following consultation with teachers and pupils by the Anti-Bullying Alliance. Teachers and children wanted a theme that empowered them to do something positive to counter the harm and hurt that bullying causes. We will be using the Anti-Bullying Alliance resources in school this week to focus on how we can actively use our Power for Good, and what we can do to stop bullying. #AntiBullyingWeek #PowerForGood

On Tuesday 11th November, our children commemorated Remembrance Day. We held a two minute's silence at 11am, sold poppies and other merchandise to raise money for the Royal British Legion and l took time to learn about and remember the service and sacrifice of all those that have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.

Pyrenees class have been focusing on the book ‘little red riding hood’ this term. They have learned a version of the story and have now began to change some details to make their own versions. Children then worked in small groups to act out the story and retell this in their groups. Next the children will use their adapted ideas and write their own versions of ‘little red riding hood’.

To help support our learning of subtraction in 20, Pyrenees class have been playing a board game. The children took it in turns to roll the dice and subtract their number to move their character. The winner was the first child to reach 0 in the 'race to zero' game.

Year 1 went on a trip to St John's Church as part of their history topic on Margate. The children have been learning about the church and its significance in history lessons. Additionally, in their geography lessons the children have also explored how St John's Church is a human feature of the area. During the visit they met with Father Leigh, who provided a tour of the church and discussed various features including the stained glass windows and the church roof. After the tour, the children created their own brass rubbings of features in the church using wax crayons.
