Happy Friday Skylarks!

Please take a moment to watch the message I have recorded for you all: Miss Thwaites Friday message

Most of the staff at school have participated in reciting the poem ‘The Great Realisation’ by Tom Foolery. This poem expresses information about the lockdown and the good things that have come from it too! Please take the time to have a listen as it is a fantastically well-written poem: The Great Realisation

Some of our children will remember Jenna as she delivered an assembly in school for us around 2 years ago. Unfortunately, as she couldn't come in again, she did a virtual one earlier this week with Mr Russell for us to share instead. Jenna

In school, we do lots of work around equality and inclusion and how everyone should be treated equally no matter if they are different. Differences should be appreciated and respected by others and no one should every feel left out! We adopted the teaching of ‘No Outsiders’ written by Andrew Moffat which involves a series of lessons using books as a hook to share new concepts and understandings. Please follow the link for some of these online lessons that have been produced. Andrew Moffat- No Outsiders
