The year 4 and 5 Digital Leaders came to help the children and they also filmed them using the iPads so the year 1 children could have a go a being a tv chef and presenting their own tv programme, explaining the different steps of making the fruit kebab. When the kebabs were all made, it was time for the best part of the activity.... to eat them! The children all thoroughly enjoyed tasting them!

We have been learning about British Values and Remembrance Day. We had 2 minutes silence to remember all those affected by war and those who lost their lives. The children particularly enjoyed learning about the role of animals in the war. We made poppies by cutting out our handprints and we used them to form a wreath as a centrepiece for our Collective Worship session. We wrote prayers for our journals to say thank you to all those people who keep us safe.

In the Infant Department we had a very busy and informative day for Internet Safety Day. The infant children enjoyed an assembly that was presented to them by the Year 5 digital leaders. The Year 5 children delivered online safety messages to the children through role play and drama.
In class the children then made their own online safety badges,which we are sure provided a talking point at home.
Year 2 children also made their own digital footprints and took part in a class quiz.
