Launching the Christmas Festivities at Nettlesworth Primary

December 2, 2025 by ameliagrimes

What a magical start to the festive season! Our school hall came alive as every child added a bauble to our huge real Christmas tree, making it sparkle with colour and joy. Together, we counted down to the big light switch-on, filling the hall with music, dancing, and plenty of laughter.

Classrooms are now beautifully decorated, and the whole school gathered to enjoy a special story time with the classic ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. It was a wonderful way to celebrate together and spread festive cheer across our school community!

Safeguarding Week 2025

December 2, 2025 by ameliagrimes

Last week, our school took part in Safeguarding Week 2025, a special time dedicated to helping our pupils understand how to stay safe, look after themselves, and support others. Each day focused on a different theme, explored through fun and interactive workshops across all year groups.

Monday – Being Safe Online

We kicked off the week by learning about digital safety. Pupils discussed how to protect personal information, spot online dangers, and make smart choices when using technology. They even designed their own “Digital Safety Hats” to remind us of the importance of staying safe online.

Tuesday – Positive Relationships & Emotional Wellbeing

Our second day focused on building healthy friendships and understanding feelings. Through role-play and creative activities, pupils explored how to show kindness, respect boundaries, and ask for help when needed.

Wednesday – Bullying & Peer Support

Midweek, we tackled the topic of bullying. Children learned how to recognise bullying, speak up, and support each other. Classes created “Support Circles” and made pledges to stand against bullying.

Thursday – Physical Safety & Personal Boundaries

Thursday’s workshops taught pupils about personal space and physical safety. Using the NSPCC’s “Talk PANTS” resources, children learned simple rules to keep themselves safe and identify trusted adults.

Friday – Child Voice & Participation

We ended the week by empowering pupils to share their ideas about safety. Each class contributed to our “Classroom Safety Promise” and created suggestion boxes to ensure every child’s voice is heard.

The children in EYFS had a fantastic time celebrating World Nursery Rhyme Week 2025! Throughout the week, our children explored classic rhymes through singing, storytelling, and creative activities. Nursery rhymes play a vital role in developing early language skills, rhythm, and memory – and the children loved every moment!

We shared our performance of the songs in assembly on Friday and were presented with our completion certificates.

Remembrance Day

November 14, 2025 by ameliagrimes

UNCRC Article 38

The children took part in a Remembrance Service on 11.11.25, to remember all of the amazing people that fought for our country during the War! We talked about why we celebrate on this day and raised lots of money for the Royal British Legion, a UK charity that supports serving personnel, veterans, and their families! We held a minute silence to show our respect and laid money on our poppy! Thank you so much for all of your kind donations, towards such an amazing cause! All of the children also created a piece of art work, to display on our school fence for our community to see.
