Impacts on the Body
The Leopards have worked in pairs to recognise the impact of drugs and alcohol on the body. The children found that the brain is the most common organ to suffer from damage along with the heart, lungs and liver.
PSHCE
Barnsley Music Education Hub website now has new features which we really hope will support schools. As well as a new Online Learning section that was developed last term, we have also been working hard to reduce the amount of printed paper resources that we use, therefore we have included the following documents online:
· Pupil Practice Diary
· Pupil Handbook (Lots of information about how lessons work)
· New Starter Form (Pink Form)
Here is The link to these documents:
Let’s go camping!
The children had a wonderful time at their camping experience, after planning and organising it all by themselves! They loved toasting marshmallows over the campfire, role-playing in the tent, playing games of football and using the parachute. It was lovely to share a hot chocolate at the end of the day, whilst singing songs and playing guitar. What a magical day, following our children’s interests ‘In The Moment’!
Benefits of Being Back
The Year 5/6 Tigers have been discussing the many benefits of being back in school after lockdown. We have discussed the importance of taking the time to reflect upon our mental wellbeing, as well as our physical health. The themes that were discussed included friendships, routine, teamwork and taking part in our favourite lessons once again.
Not a Stick
Our selected question led us into a deep discussion about gender stereotypes.
Martin Luther King
We are finding out about the inspirational life of Martin Luther King Jr. Our mission: To share our thoughts on how he impacted our world, to give opinions and to reflect on the ‘power of words’. Mrs. Sutton was inspired by the children’s knowledge, understanding and compassion.
Happy, Healthy and Ready to Learn
We have made the most of a whole host of positive activities and experiences. We are well on the way to an exciting and challenging education! Here’s a selection of our thoughts and memories.
Web of Emotions
As one of our PSHCE sessions, the Badgers have discussed feelings and experiences during lockdown. One person shared their experience and held a ball of wool, if anyone else had had the same experience they raised their hand. The ball of wool was passed along, and the next person shared another experience or emotion from lockdown. We created a ‘Web of Emotions’ to show that even though we weren’t all together we were still connected by our experiences.
Team Building with the Robins
The Robins took part in a range of different team building games using our parachute and they loved it.
Team Building Day
The Foxes spent time reintegrating with each other throughout some very special team building activities. We showed caring, collaboration, creativity and communication in our problem solving as well as having lots of fun!
Lockdown Memories
The Foxes recalled some of their lockdown experiences and created a dance sequence based on four memories.
It’s Always Better When We’re Together
We spent time thinking about how we are all essential ‘pieces’ in a jigsaw.
