He saw blue tits great tits house sparrows blackbirds all on the rspb bird watch list but also saw mallards wigieon and herons and swans.
  We did the bird watch at home too but our garden isn’t huge so just house sparrows and pigeons.

• Holocaust Memorial Day

  Thu 27 Jan 2022

  Many schools and communities took part in the Holocaust Memorial Day on the 27th January 2022. 

  National Holocaust Day, or Holocaust Memorial Day, remembers the victims of the Holocaust during the Second World War.

  6 million Jewish people were killed by the Nazis in the Holocaust during the Second World War.

  Holocaust Memorial Day remembers everyone who lost their lives under the Nazi rule , including millions of people killed in genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.

  The theme of this year's Holocaust Memorial Day is "One Day," which encourages people to pick one day in history on which an act of genocide was committed and learn about that day.

  The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust explained that they mark the day with hope for a future with no genocide. The trust said: "We learn more about the past, we empathise with others today, and we take action for a better future."

  Our older children will be finding out more about this memorial day through some class work and in an assembly.

• Kind school award

  Sat 08 Jan 2022

  We are excited to announce we have been awarded the 'Kind School' award.

  This award highlights our school is committed to a culture of kindness in the classroom: including both kindness to ourselves and to others.

   

  Kind Schools understand that kindness doesn’t happen in isolation, but ripples out of the classroom into homes, the local community and ultimately the world! 

   

  Kind Schools see kindness not just as single acts, but as an attitude and approach to life that threads through everything we do and every interaction we have. 

   

  Kind Schools understand the important role kindness plays in boosting children’s mental and physical health.

   

  And finally….Kind Schools believe that ‘Kind’ is the most important thing a person can be.
