20th November 2018
Today Fay Lunn (Holmfirth High School P.E. teacher and Sports Partnership Schools Coordinator) come in and gave children an assembly on 'Healthy Eating'. The children thoroughly enjoyed learning more about keeping themselves fit and healthy by, not only exercising every day, but also by limiting the amount of sugary foods in their diet. Many of the children were amazed by the amount of sugar in many of the foods/drinks they enjoy and learnt all about the effects on their bodies.

This week has been anti-bullying week. We have been looking at what we should do to help someone who is being hurt verbally or physically. We thought of the different people who we can trust to tell if we are worried and thought about how we can 'use our power for good' to help everyone is school. We used the 'High 5!' method to give us strategies on how to deal with situations.

In geography, we have started looking at different types of maps and how we can use these to create a route to follow. We looked at an atlas to locate the key, which then told us the meanings of the different symbols. We also looked at the points of a compass and made our very own using paper and split pins!

Today, children in Key Stage 1 performed We'll Meet Again by Vera Lynn in front of the school, which they have been learning in connection with the centenary of the end of World War 1. We have also been making poppies out of used plastic bottles, with pva glue and paint, to create beautiful symbols of this event. During the afternoon, we attached these to the school gate singing our song again. These have been placed at the front of school for all to admire and remember those who had shown bravery throughout the world.
Partitioning numbers

Today, we used arrow cards to help us understand the value of each number in 2-digit and 3-digit numbers. We found that if we pulled the cards apart after we had made the numbers, they showed us what each number represented. Why not test the children at home to see if you can trick them ....
