Winnie the Pooh Day
On National Winnie the Pooh Day we asked people to send us an image to celebrate. Originally created in 1926, the stories of Winnie the Pooh have sparked wholesome, honey-loving, childhood dreams for nearly a century. Although there are many other characters within the Winnie the Pooh universe (Kanga, Rabbit, Roo, and Tigger — just to name a few), there is no doubt that the bear wearing a red shirt — with his paw pushed into a jar of honey — is most certainly a fan favourite.

British Values
During the Autumn Term of 2020 we had a series of assemblies and work in school about Fundamental British Values. We used this film to remind ourselves of them and linked them to our British Values hand that we use in school.
Our Salute
To remember the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain, and as part of our work on the British Values of Democracy and Individual Liberty, we watched part of this film produced by the RAF. The aim was to ensure that the bravery of these men was not forgotten and also remember the ultimate sacrifice made by so few for so many.
In Flanders Fields
As part of our commemoration of Remembrance Day we discussed the First World War and the poem " In Flanders Fields" and then listened to a reading of the poem.
Daylight Saving
At the end of October the clocks change and so we learnt about this and talked about why trying to keep as much daylight at the end of a school day might help us.
The Poppy Story
As part of our commemoration of Remembrance Day we watched parts of this film all about the poppy to discover and discuss it's significance and symbolism.
The Perseverance of Barn Swallows
As part of work thinking about resilience and perseverance we watch a short film about the Barn Swallows who migrate from South Africa to northern Europe and how their determination and perseverance carries them home each year.
Bonfire Night
At the time of Bonfire Night in 2020 everyone had begun a second National Lockdown but with many families celebrating bonfire night at home, we looked closely at safety after a request to make sure we covered it from Nottinghamshire Fire Service. This assembly was also part of our work on the British Value of the "rule of law" and following rules for a reason just as we do in school.
Derek Redmond
In an assembly on resilience and perseverance we talked about Derek Anthony Redmond (born 3 September 1965). During his career, he held the British record for the 400 metres sprint and won gold medals in the 1991 4x400 metres relay at the World Championships and European Championships. At the 1988 Olympics he pulled out of his heat 90 seconds before he was due to race, and before the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona he had undergone eight operations due to injuries but he wanted to run at the Olympics.
The Story of Rosa Parks
To mark Black History month we spent our time in school looking at tremendous achievements by different people that changed history. As part of this work we learnt about Rosa Parks and her story.
The Wisdom of Geese
During our assemblies on teamwork and respect and tolerance we watched this video called the Wisdom of Geese. We found out why the geese fly in a V shape and how they support each other to achieve their team goal.
