NSPCC Speak Out Stay Safe

As part of our SMSC curriculum, the boys and girls took part in an online 'Speak Out and Stay Safe' Assembly today by the NSPCC. 

During the assembly, the children talked about the rights of a child and the trusted adults in their lives they can talk to if they have any worries or concerns.

We reminded the children that life is full of 'ups and downs' and that there is always someone who can help and support them should they need it.

We also talked about the role of CHILDLINE,  the support they can offer and how to contact them.

Cosmic acting!

We have been exploring our class book Cosmic in more detail today. Liam and Florida are two characters from the book who go to Little Stars Drama Club. This afternoon, the children acted out an improvisation scene that Liam and Florida did during their drama session. We discussed characters, followed stage directions and evaluated other people's performances too. Well done and keep up the cosmic acting!

The Kilburn Junior School Bee Garden

Last week, the children in year five worked extremely hard to create the perfect environment for the bees. They planted lots of plants, built shelters for them (to protect them from the rain) and created a watering hole for them too! In addition to this, we hung their bee boxes, which they made during their Trailblazer sessions.

This week, the children will be continuing their work on bees, by writing a set of instructions on how to create your very own bee garden!

White Hall Day One

The children have hit the ground running on day one of White Hall 2021! Group A has been out of the centre on the Monsal Trail abseiling down Millers Dale viaduct; Group B and D have completed the ropes course, the zipline and the infamous 'Leap of Faith' and Group C have been bouldering and traversing in the newly refurbished indoor climbing wall before going out of the centre to ride around the challenging mountain biking course. If all that wasn't enough- after a hearty dinner- we have also been exploring the centre's grounds whilst playing the 'Woods Have Eyes'.

World Bee Day!

Today we celebrated World Bee Day! The children all looked fabulous in their costumes and managed to raise £90.10!

Team Endurance produced some superb art related to bees! They have also began to devise a plan for how we can help the community to become more bee friendly. Keep your eyes peeled for further information.
