This year for Children in Need we came into school wearing Superhero costumes… from Spider-Man to nurses, parents to princesses; the children made a wonderful effort with all of their costumes / pudsey merchandise. We would like to send a big thank you to everyone who supported our fundraising for Children in Need. We had fun learning about working together to make a difference to children’s lives all around the UK. As a school we raised £89 towards this worthy cause.

It was so much fun taking part in the gladiator challenges on the BBC children in need live stream. We added a nettlesworth twist to the challenges and held our own games in the school hall. The children’s highlight, by far, was the teacher challenges at the end of a wonderful morning 🦸🏻

UNCRC Article Link: 38 – Governments must do everything they can to protect and care for children affected by war.

On the 11th day of the 11th month; on the 11th hour Nettlesworth Primary School got together to take part in our annual Remembrance Day assembly.

This year the children have worked incredibly hard in their classes and in assemblies to pay respects to those who fought for us in WW1 and those who are still working to create a safe world for us to live in.

We have created a gallery outside of the wonderful artwork and had a remembrance service in school on Monday where we held a minute’s silence.

Thank you for all of your donations to the charity; Royal British Legion.

Class 1 created some wonderful handprint poppy paintings and watercolour poppy fields in our Art lesson. We also visited the local area and counted all of the Poppies that had been put up by our Parish – we loved the wreath and soldier silhouette. We added our paintings to the whole school gallery on the fence too!

Finally, after our Remembrance service we baked Poppy biscuits and took them home to enjoy with our families 🙂

Class 4 Remembers…

To commemorate Remembrance Day, we created some beautiful collage pieces to display outside of the school entrance. We used a range of materials for our designs to create eye capturing poppies. Following on from Mrs Lee’s beautiful remembrance service in assembly, we donated money to The Royal British Legion on our giant poppy. We’ve been working hard in learning about the importance of Remembrance Day in our History session this week. Lest we forget.

There are over 6,000 different genetic conditions and lots of children are affected by them: 1 in 25 in the UK in fact!

Today, at Nettlesworth Primary School we raised money and awareness for this wonderful charity! For more information please check out the PowerPoint below:
