Monday 21st November 2022 - Anti Bullying Week - Odd Socks Day

Children and staff wore odd Socks today to celebrate our uniqueness.  

We are celebrating Anti-Bullying Week from 21st November this year, and the theme this year is ‘Reach Out’. It is coordinated by the Anti-Bullying Alliance, which is based at the National Children’s Bureau. Bullying affects millions of lives and can leave us feeling hopeless. But if we challenge it, we can change it. And it starts by reaching out. It doesn’t stop with young people.

At The Norman Primary School, we encourage pupils, teachers and parents to reach out, as we all have a part to play. Reach out to someone you trust if you need to talk. Reach out to someone if you know they’re being bullied. Reach out by being the change you want to see. It takes courage, but it can change lives. So, this Anti-Bullying Week, let’s come together and reach out to stop bullying. 

Pupils at Norman have recently completed some work around who their trusted adults are, please talk to your child who their trusted adults are if they are worried.

Friday 11th November 2022 - Armistice Day 2022

Friday 4th November - People who help us. 

Robins class had a visit from Elsie's Mum who is a nurse to finish off a week on 'people who help us'.

And "Do you give people injections everyday?"  She brought in some equipment that the children were able to use including a stethoscope, a Doppler to check pulse/heart beat, bandages and a peak flow monitor. The children really enjoyed exploring all the different equipment and asking questions to a professional about how they work.

Thank you to Elsie's mum and all the other amazing people who work for the NHS keeping us well.

The zoo was very quiet, which meant that the animals were feeling a little braver than usual and were extra keen to come and see us and put on a show. We saw playful tigers bundling one another, majestic giraffes feeding, sea lions leaping through the water, sloths slowly creeping through the trees and howler monkeys calling out overhead.

We also had a discovery session where we learned about food chains and classified animals into three groups: carnivores, herbivores and omnivores.

Our annual EYFS Soup share had a few changes this year, firstly they were helped out by KS1, and secondly, for the first since Covid, we were able to share our soup with the wider community.

Reception Class and Year 2s learnt how they can use vegetables harvested from the ground to create food for us. We peeled, chopped and mixed the vegetables in the pan with stock, hot water and tomatoes grown in Starlings outside area and then blended them into a soup type consistency. 

Year 1s baked some delicious bread rolls to accompany the soup. We used a special yeast-free recipe, which comprised of just flour and yoghurt. We mixed these together and then kneaded the dough - it was quite sticky and lots of fun.

Thank you to the parents who came and helped us in the Pond Working Party Group. Volunteers gave up their Saturday to help us clear the pond area, so we are able to use this as part of our learning.

Before ...                                                                                 After!

                 

We also spotted a little visitor to our pond area, we made sure he was protected and replaced into his pile of twigs and dry leaves ready for the chillier Autumn Days.  Mrs Fisher

This week we have been looking at Mental Health and I would like to say thank you to all of you that have generously donated to our Just giving page for Young Minds, we raised a whopping £133.00 which is incredible. It was lovely to see all the children in their bright colours, discussing how we can improve our Mental Health in our very special assembly this morning. The children were very insightful when discussing mental health and showed an understanding of what mental health is and why it is important. They watched a video and presentation as part of the assembly led by Miss Smith. Charlie Fisher highlighted to us all that the assembly looked like a Rainbow with all the different colours, and with the symbol of the rainbow representing hope, I thought that this was very apt.
