This years' Anti-Bullying Week theme, 'Power for Good' has come about following consultation with teachers and pupils by the Anti-Bullying Alliance. Teachers and children wanted a theme that empowered them to do something positive to counter the harm and hurt that bullying causes. We will be using the Anti-Bullying Alliance resources in school this week to focus on how we can actively use our Power for Good, and what we can do to stop bullying. #AntiBullyingWeek #PowerForGood

⚠️A reminder for all parents that this is what forest school sessions can look like! This is one of our lovely year 3/4 children who was prepared for his session today and came to school suitably dressed with his uniform in his bag to get changed into afterwards. 🤩He is wet and muddy but look at that smile! 💡And with warm and dry clothes to get changed into he can focus on his learning for the rest of the day. ⚠️Please make sure if its your child's day for forest school that they come to school in their forest school clothes, with a coat, and bring their school uniform to change into after.⚠️ Well done K and mum for remembering, allowing him to make the most of his forest school session! 🌿
