COUNTRY-WIDE ONLINE ASSEMBLY FOR CELEBRATING DIFFERENCES AND OVERCOMING ADVERSITY

We were very proud to take part in a country-wide assembly, which involved many schools, all listening in to and watching about how to celebrate all of our differences. The children told us how it linked in with the work we do in school on British Values and Protected Characteristics.

FIRST AID COURSE

Years 5 and 6 learnt so many new and exciting life skills when they took part in their annual first aid course. They were learning how to clean and bandage cuts, bruises, sprains and breaks and learnt how to resuscitate a person, then put them into the recovery position. They even had the opportunity to create their own fake injuries!

In preparation for their new geography topic next half-term, year 4 had a great time during their rainforest workshop. 

FIREFIGHTERS AT GLENMERE!

EYFS had a visit from our local Fire Brigade and enjoyed learning all about the emergency services. They dressed up in their own costumes to celebrate those who help us when we are in need as part of their topic.
