• Lincolnshire Prevent team

  Thu 02 Mar 2023

  It can be hard to know what to do if you’re worried someone close is expressing extreme views or hatred, which could lead to them harming themselves or others. Working with other organisations, the police protect vulnerable people from being exploited by extremists through a Home Office programme called Prevent.

  Young people can be at a greater risk of being targeted by extremists and the internet has made it much easier for radicalisers to find and identify people who might be easily influenced.

  In Lincolnshire, last year most of the cases referred to Prevent related to young people and one of the biggest concerns was online activity including the sharing of extremist information.

  Friends and family are often the first to spot worrying changes taking place. These can be big or small changes that take place very quickly or over a longer period. Trust your instincts and if you’re concerned seek advice.

  ACT Early provides advice on the risks of radicalisation, spotting the signs and what to do if concerned.

• Nutrition workshop

  Thu 23 Feb 2023

   Nutrition workshop

  On Wednesday afternoon, Greenfinch and Brambling classes were treated to a workshop by visiting Inspire Plus ambassador, Sophie Allen. Sophie is a British Olympic swimmer and although she has retired from competitive swimming, she is still very involved in sport locally and is passionate about children’s health and fitness.

  During the workshop, Sophie explained how macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and fats) work together to fuel your body and how having the right amount of each nutrient in childhood is vital for adult health later on too. The children talked about the kinds of foods they enjoyed regularly and Sophie explained which of the foods were good choices or how they could be substituted for healthier options.

    

  

• Forest school

  Wed 22 Feb 2023

  Forest school

  How excited Robin and Goldcrest classes were on Wednesday—our first forest school session in the local environment. All dressed up ready, we set off  with our trolley laden full of drinks, tarpaulin, first aid kit and even a toilet! The setting is a beautiful all enclosed woodland on private land with a seating area made of logs and plenty of trees and grassland to play hide and seek in. We learnt a forest school song, played rhythms using sticks we had found and explored the surroundings with our friends. Everyone gave it a 10 out of 10 and we can’t wait to go again next week.

   

  

• STEM enrichment

  Thu 09 Feb 2023

  This morning Greenfinch had a fantastic time programming and racing Spheros as part of a STEM enrichment opportunity. It helped the children develop their computational thinking, and problem-solving skills. They took some time to practise and then a small team got involved in the timed races. Cones led to time penalties and the children discovered the truth behind ‘slow and steady wins the race!’ Thank you to @Discoverytrust for providing our children with this opportunity.

  

• Valentines disco

  Thu 09 Feb 2023

  Thank you to our friends of Corby Glen for a super Valentines disco.

  

• Year 5/6 Circulatory system and exploring the heart.

  Thu 09 Feb 2023

  This afternoon, the children in Greenfinch had a fantastic time dissecting pig hearts as a ‘fab-finisher’ for our circulatory system topic. The children got stuck in looking for the different parts of the heart and couldn’t believe how large and strong the hearts felt. They learnt a rap to help them remember all the parts and it was brilliant to put it into practise with a real heart in their hands!
