Hello everyone!

Welcome back to School! I hope you all had a good half term. What a first week back we have had! On Tuesday, as part of our humanities topic we went to The Safety Works and heard from some real-life superheroes. There were many different people there, and we heard from The Fire and Rescue service, and representatives from Nexus and Road Safety. We learnt what do to do if we ever need help at a metro station, we learnt how to cross the road safely, looking at how traffic lights change and when it’s safe to cross, we were taught about bonfires and sparklers and how to be safe around them, and we even got to try on a firefighter’s outfit. We were shown around a house where there were many hazards that could cause a fire, and even what a burnt out room would look and smell like. Apart from that we were shown what the inside of a police station might look like, including a cell, an interview room and station desk, before being able to try on some police outfits. It was wonderful and we all really enjoyed it.

In art we created firework pictures with oil pastels and paint splatters using teabags; and we also designed fantasy superhero masks. We have learnt about the story of Rama and Sita and made coconut ladoos for Diwali, and had a fantastic firework display in school.

I hope you all have an enjoyable and safe bonfire night everyone. Enjoy the fireworks!
