Myths and Legends

Picture
Year 5 are in the middle of their term's work on Myths and Legends and they have been learning about local folk tales. 5P have produced news reports about The Lambton Worm, which has been great fun to watch and listen to. This week, they are performing to their class and we have had a class full of blacksmiths, witches and sleeping-bag-clad worms! Lots of swords, amour and tea towels have figured heavily in their drama pieces too!
Mrs Watkins has been very impressed with their clever script writing, funny interviews and amazing costumes and props - thank you 5P! It has been an absolute pleasure this week

E-safety is high on our agenda at school. We want children to be safe and responsible when they go online. Our Computing curriculum places emphasis on developing children's knowledge and skills to enable them to stay safe online. We would be happy to share any advice with you.
Parent Info provides high quality information to parents and carers about their children's wellbeing and resilience. In line with CEOP’s Thinkuknow programme, some of the content covers internet safety, but it all starts from the assumption that young people make little distinction between their online and offline lives and the issues for parents are often the same.

​We are delighted with our Year 6 pupils. Well done everyone.
