Mock Trial

This week, year 6 had a special visit from Coventry Magistrates Court. They learnt all about crime and punishment and what happens in the court. The children found it both fun and informative. A particular highlight was the trial re-enactment, in which the students took on roles within the court, including jury members, witnesses and legal advisors. It appears we have several budding actors in our midst!

 

Filling Our Planters

Reception gathered compost from different sources before adding some kindly donated plants. The children loved the challenge and are looking forward to seeing the plants grow and develop. One student even hoped for a beanstalk!

Diwali Lamps

Today Reception took home their brilliantly decorated Diwali lamps, which we made out of clay last week, to celebrate the Hindu and Sikh Festival.

 

Anti Bullying Week Begins

Reception learned that being unkind leaves a mark and changes you forever!

We had a piece of smooth paper and said unkind things to it. With each unkind comment, the paper was bent or ripped, meaning it could never be returned to the beautiful piece of paper it once was.

We were also unkind to an apple then looked inside to see the effect it had. We were shocked to see that the apple we were mean to, was bruised and squishy inside. We didn’t want this happening to anyone we know, so we decided we must always be kind, using thoughtful words and nice hands, so feelings inside are not hurt!

Reception Trip – Ryton Pools

What a wonderful first trip Year R had on Friday, when we ventured to Ryton Pools Country Park. We discovered lots in the Wild Woods, including digging for pirate treasure, making animal homes and lots more…The Rangers said we were great listeners and were exceptionally well behaved, which made the staff really happy. A big thank you to all the parent volunteers who helped us and well done children!

Value Certificates

Well done to this week’s certificate winners for showing our Cannon Park Values. You are role models for others.

Fire Safety

Year 4 have been learning all about Fire Safety with our special visitors from Canley Fire Station. Their top tips were:
1. Make sure you have a working smoke alarm at home.
2. If there is a fire, Get Out, Stay Out, Call The Fire Brigade Out.

Diwali Celebration 2018

Happy Diwali Everyone!

Reception celebrated Diwali by creating Rangoli Patterns by our door, using chalk and paint. We discovered that this was done as a way to welcome the God Lakshmi into buildings. It was really fun once the colours started to blend together in the rain! We also acted out the story of Rama and Sita, and made Diwali cards.
