This half term, Coneys class are taking part in forest school each Wednesday afternoon. In the first two weeks we have observed and discussed the seasonal changes that Autumn brings. We have sung a variety of Autumn songs and played a fun game with fallen leaves. We have learnt about animals that hibernate such as hedgehogs and created our own hedgehog artwork using leaves from the forest floor. We have also learnt a hedgehog song. We have also been playing 'I spy fungi!" looking out for interesting fungi around the forest, ass well as toasting marshmallows on the camp fire to have smores which were enjoyed by all. #ForestSchool

In Lamberts we are learning about databases. We enjoyed playing a 'comparison cards' game a bit like 'Top Trumps' to learn about records, fields, and data. The following week, we compared how quickly we could filter and sort the data on our cards compared to doing it on the computers... The computers were the clear winner!

It was a privilege to be part of Marshwood's community Remembrance Service, joining Reverend Sarah at the war memorial here in the village. Each class created their own wreath to lay at the memorial and Archie did an exceptional job delivering a reading during this service.

Facing unpleasant feelings can be a challenge, even for adults – let alone for children and young people, whose minds are still developing. To many youngsters, a mistake in an exam, a hurtful word or even losing in a game can sometimes feel like the worst thing in the world, causing them to react accordingly. This free guide offers you expert tips on how to instil emotional resilience in young people, helping them to learn from unexpected feelings and situations – and to process them in a mature, effective manner.

Many children and young people enjoy exploring new and exciting genres and themes in the films and TV they consume – and as they grow, the maturity of this content will likely increase with them. However, without proper supervision and safeguarding, youngsters looking for a new title to enjoy – especially in the horror genre – might get a little more than they're ready for, especially with Halloween being a theme for many providers for the next few weeks. The emotional and psychological impacts of viewing age-inappropriate content can be severe. It's vital for parents and educators to know how to keep the children in their care as safe as possible while young people explore new, potentially grittier or darker, pieces of media. This free guide breaks down the risks of viewing age-inappropriate content, with a particular focus on horror, and offers expert advice on how to limit youngsters’ exposure to material that might upset or disturb them. #WakeUpWednesday

As you can see from the action shots, Pilsdon Class have really grown in confidence in their TAG rugby skills. The class are now confidently passing, catching, tackling and defending with accuracy throughout the games on the field. It has been fantastic to watch their understanding of the rules, their team work skills and sportsmanship develop and flourish in this sport. With thanks to @@wessex_grounds_services who kindly painted lines on the field allowing us to play games as a class. Please do ensure that you send your child to school with an extra pair of sports shoes to change into for PE as we really do like to use the field as much as possible and the ground can be wet.
