Article of the Week Articles 24 & 33

Hello, This week we have combined two articles in order to discuss legal and illegal drug use. Article 24 – Health and Health Services and Article 33 – Protection from Harmful Drugs can provide a useful context and language to explore different uses of medicines and drugs. Medicines and drugs are essential for a healthy society and can be positive for us all, but they can also be misused, harmful and illegal. It’s important children and young people have accurate information so that they can be protected from misuse, make informed decisions, form opinions and take action if they need to.

Today we had a wonderful visit to Hamsterley Forest and took part in a day of exciting activities led by OAESES.

Class 1 & 2 followed the Zog trail and made magical wands with woodland materials.

Class 3 had a day of OAA and followed many different maps to solve the mystery 🙂

 

To raise money for the Booktrust, we took part in a Pyjamarama Day at Nettlesworth!

We came  to school in our pyjamas and then took part in some fun reading activities throughout the day. We had lots of fun activities planned throughout the day and celebrated the importance of every child having a bedtime story to read 🙂

Together we raised £55.00

 

 

 

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming back the amazing author and story teller Adam Bushnell into our school. It was a fabulous to spark imaginations and get the creative writing flowing as we launched our new topics across the school – very inspiring for all of our children.

Class 1

We had lots of fun creating our own characters for fairy tales such as; ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ and ‘The 3 Little Pigs’. We used lots of adjectives to describe our characters and added detail to the paper plate characters using natural resources that we found on the field floor.

 

Class 2 – Rio De Vida

 

 

Class 3 – Pirates

 

 

Class 4 – Heroes and Villains

 

 

Class 5 – Firedamp and Davy Lamps

The weather wasn’t on our side this year but we didn’t let that stop us holding our annual Sports Day. We set up camp in the hall and cheered on our teams. We all had a fantastic time and showed off all of the Sainsburys Values whilst taking part. It was lovely to see the outstanding rights respecting behaviour from all of our children.

A massive thank you to our Sports Leaders and Mr Beveridge who ensured that Sports Day was well planned and resourced, as always.

And finally ….. 2023 Sports Day Winners are …. YELLOW TEAM!

Congratulations

Article of the Week Article 31

Hello, Article 31, which we explore in this week’s Article of the Week, covers a wide range of cultural and artistic activities beyond what we might typically think of as ‘play’. It also includes relaxation and rest, as well as sport and physical activity. This week’s pack take a holistic approach to this article and includes activities that will appeal to children and young people across a broad scope of their interests. After the summer break we will no longer deliver new Article of the Week packs every week by email. All packs will continue to be available online. In the next academic year we will launch a new monthly resource called Spotlight. Spotlight will be a themed continuing professional development resource which helps you embed children’s rights practice and the outcomes of the Award with staff in your school. This new teacher training resource will be sent out in a monthly email which will highlight other resources that we recommend exploring that month.
