ANTIBULLYING WEEK 2025 – POWER FOR GOOD

By Miss L STEWART11th November 2025

 

This week, both Years 5 and 6 took part in the online BBC Antibullying lesson with the overarching theme being Power for Good.

We had various codes to crack and missions to undertake, whereupon the children explored how to identify when an altercation between parties may be considered as an act of bullying and how we should, and should not, deal with the situation.

We also explored and familiarised ourselves with some important terminology:

Target…the person or persons being bullied

Ringleader…the person causing physical and emotional harm to another

Bystander…an individual who witnesses bullying happening but does nothing to stop it

Upstander…an individual who stands up for the target and gets help

We unanimously agreed that being an UPSTANDER was by far the best in order to use our powers for good to stop or prevent an individual being harmed. In addition, we all agreed that kind hands, kind feet, kind words and being accepting and tolerant of others makes our world a much better place.

Year 5 Bikeability

By Sophie Porteous9th November 2025

Year 5 had a very busy week completing Levels 1 & 2 of Bikeability!

Every child that took part managed to achieve something personal to them, whether that be sitting on a bike for the first time, riding one-handed whilst signalling, or overtaking parked cars on the road in a safe manner.

The children showed excellent listening skills and resilience. There was a lot of information to take in and remember but the children were absolute superstars and showed the instructors what it means to “Be The Best You Can Be!”.

Well done Year 5!

Year 6 Wow day

By Mr J SUTTON24th October 2025

For our year 6 end of English unit, the children dressed up (after writing a letter of persuasion to Mrs Marson) and took part in some fun activities relating to the Day of the Dead. They especially enjoyed making Pan de Meurtos, I hope they taste as good as the look! Everyone looked great!

Year 6 Science

By Mr J SUTTON21st October 2025

In science we have been looking at the question: Which exercise will increase our heart rates the most. The children were able to choose three different exercises to compare. To keep it a fair test they decided that they should do each activity for 2 minutes before finding and recording their heat beat. In between each activity they let their heart beat get back to a resting beat before starting the next exercise to ensure fairness. We will be comparing our data next lesson and drawing a graph to show and evaluate our results.

Yesterday, our House Captains made a visit to London for a tour of the Houses of Parliament. They had a fantastic trip and were great school ambassadors. The trip the Parliament was a great chance to see democracy in action and how the country was ran. Well done children!

Buckingham Palace – the King was home but sadly we didn’t see him! 

Travelling on the underground was busy but fun.

KS2 Enjoy their new play equipment!

By Mr S MORGAN5th October 2025

There was excitement on the playground this week when we launched our new play equipment for KS2. Children got to grips with their new materials aimed to encourage open-ended and imaginative play, while encouraging children to be physically active. Initially feedback is very positive and we hope to add more soon!
