Anti-bullying week in Year 6

This week Year 6 have been thinking about how words can hurt people. They have created 'Top Tips' for communicating with others and focused on giving each other compliments. They have explored teasing situations and discussed ways of helping people who are being bullied in this way.

Lots of measuring, comparing and sorting in Year 1!

Year 1 have been working very hard over the last couple of weeks in their Maths lessons. We have been measuring, comparing and sorting the weight, length and capacity of many different objects and putting our results into block graphs! We have also been describing and sorting objects as part of our materials topic in Science. Keep up the great work Year 1!

JRSO...?

Representatives of schools and local services in
Southampton

This stands for Junior Road Safety Officer! Here we are at St Mary's stadium along with other schools finding out more about Southampton's new scheme to keep children safe when out and about. It's actually simple -  get the children themselves to be the safety champions and let them spread the message about keeping safe! Southampton city council, along with Hampshire police and fire will be supporting pupils in getting this important message across. Sadly, the majority of accidents on the roads involve children aged 10-14 either on their bikes or as passengers or pedestrians. We hope this scheme will help keep our pupils safer!

Hockey helpers!

Year 6 have been working with Year 10 students from Bitterne Park Secondary School during Hockey sessions. The students have planned and taught small group activities to help the children learn attacking and defending skills.

Unveiling Southampton's New War Memorial

Our school councillors were proud to take part in the unveiling ceremony of Southampton's new war memorial today. Together with children from other schools, we helped to reveal the new wall to remember the people of Southampton who had given their lives in conflicts since the First World War.

This was a chance for old and young to meet and we talked to representatives of the Royal British Legion and this was a reminder that many people are still suffering today as a result of conflicts around the world. The original memorial is nearly 100 hundred years old and many of the names are now worn and faded so this new wall commemorates a further 1,992 citizens of Southampton who lost their lives and will be a lasting tribute to their sacrifice.
