Well done to Nolan in class 1 for achieving his Level 1 swimming badge – we are so proud of him 🙂

Today in Mrs Morton’s assembly the children worked in groups to learn about being safe when sharing their personal pictures and videos.

We met characters; Mo and Tia, who together with Jessie complete the friendship trio. At Tia’s birthday party they use Tia’s older brother Kyle’s mobile to take fun photos of themselves. They agree to send their photos to Tia’s nan but also a few other people whose numbers are saved in Kyle’s phone. When the photos are shared with other children at their school without their permission, they turn to their teacher for help. The three friends learn about how images can get shared more widely than you first expect, and the importance of consent. Check out the video and website below to see more about this:

Today, the Children across the whole school have thoroughly enjoyed working with the writer Adam Bushnell.

From creating superhero animals and unleashing his real life pet ‘Spidertoise’, to looking at how Henry VIII bought a gargoyle head for the Palace in London, the children have really excelled themselves.

All of these exciting launches to our new topics for Spring 1 will lead to some amazingly creative Big Writes next week! 🙂

Thank you all for your £1 donation to charity, the children all looked so festive in their Christmas Jumpers. We enjoyed our Christmas lunch together in the school hall again this year, after doing it in bubbles last year. The Christmas magic is well and truly back!

To add to all of the excitement…. SANTA had been to Nettlesworth and left each and every child a handwritten letter 🙂

Today we had our Christingle service in s school. We were joined by Rev. Michael and all of the children and staff. We recorded it all for you to see at home, as usually we would come together with the whole community in Church for this special service.

 

The children have worked extremely hard to perform a truly wonderful nativity again this year. We enjoyed it so much that we wanted to record it for all of our families to see.

We have sent each household a copy of the DVD but for those who cannot access the footage, please click the link below….

 

Merry Christmas from our school to your home 🙂

Today we had our annual whole school tree decorating morning –

We all came together in assembly with our friends from each year and adults in school, we had Christmas music playing and every child in the school put a toy bauble on the Christmas tree before the big switch on. We then had a magical Christmas poem read to us by Mrs Lee!

Today EYFS & KS1 watched a one woman show who performed the amazing panto ‘The Naughtiest Elf’! The children giggled from tart to finish and it was a show to truly remember… and kick start the festivities well and truly at Nettlesworth Primary School 🙂

Huge thank you to Matt from Big Foot Arts, who spent the day working with our Key Stage 2 children to create a ‘play in a day’ – an amazing retell of The Grinch 🙂

All of the rest of the school watched and it was truly amazing – well done 🙂

On the 11th day of the 11th month; on the 11th hour Nettlesworth Primary School got together to take part in our annual Remembrance Day assembly. We have been working hard in Art & History as a whole school to create different displays in preparation for this day and it was great to see it all put together. We had some wonderful poems shared by the children in Class 5 who have been working hard on this area for literacy homework.

Thank you for all of your donations to the charity; Royal British Legion.
