We had an extremely informative and valuable session this morning learning to be mini first aiders. We learnt how to help someone who is unconscious; someone who has burnt themselves; someone who is choking and how to support someone who has cut or broken a limb.
Everyone is bringing home a challenge tonight - to practise the recovery position on a member of their family and to share the key tips from today's session with everyone at home.

We have had a fabulous dramatic morning with Charlie from Burnley Youth Theatre acting out sections of Macbeth, learning the plot and getting into role as all the main characters. We had some very natural kings and army generals and worryingly a lot of witches!

Year 6 had a great lesson focussing on light at Priory Academy this week. They had learned about sources of light and how light travels back at school but in the High School got the chance to prove it in many ways. They saw the path of light with a laser and they got the chance to investigate using light boxes. It was good to see past pupils supporting the lesson and to get a feel for science at secondary school. The class impressed Priory with their subject knowledge and excellent behaviour for learning.

We were lucky to have the opportunity to welcome Adrian Murrell into school this afternoon to support our History curriculum.
We learnt:
- That the children who left the Carribean for England travelled for two weeks and only had a tiny brief case to put all their belongings in.
- The people that travelled to England came from the Carribean Islands of: Dominica, Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and Monserat.
- About the reactions of the white people when the Windrush generation arrived.
- The way black people were portrayed on the television and in toys and books.
- That the first black lady to win an Oscar had to sit on her own during the awards ceremony.
- That there were signs which told white people to go one way and coloured people another.
The afternoon was:
- shocking
- knowledgeable
- exciting
- exhilerating
- suprising
- confusing
- brilliant
- cool
- action packed
- interesting
- fascinating
Key messgages:
- The cover is not the book, so open it up and take a look.
- It is important to get to know people and not judge them based on appearance. Look at people on the inside not the outside.
- Don't treat people differently because they look different to you.
- We should be united.

Year 6 had a visit from the Fire Service today to ensure we had the knowledge to keep ourselves safe.
Key points for road safety included:
- When on our bikes, make sure we wear a helmet and can be seen. We have a phone case to protect our phone so surely we would want to protect our own brain!
- We must pay attention when crossing the road
- Walk behind rather than in front of a stopped bus
- As a passenger of a car, do not distract the driver
- Wear a seatbelt.
Key points for fire safety included:
- A recap of stop, drop and roll
- Check smoke alarms
- Talk about an escape plan with our families
- Switch off phone chargers at night and don't keep phones under our pillow
- Close doors
- Never make a hoax call
We also learnt about 999i which we think is amazing.

Enjoy some extracts from our Running Wild stories we wrote last half-term. We published the part of our stories we were most proud of maybe because of our language, use of grammar techniques or the way we have drawn the reader in.

We loved our first session of rugby with Coach Ian - some of us certainly found every patch of mud on the field!
