This week we have been promoting anti-bullying at Richard Whittington Primary School. We have had all of our assemblies on this subject and have had numerous lessons on what bullying means, what we do if we think we are being bullied and who we should speak to.
Today we had a thought-provoking assembly for Remembrance Day. We spoke about the reasons behind this special event and the huge courage and sacrifices that the soldiers of World War 1 demonstrated.
We read ‘Where The Poppies Now Grow’ by Hilary Robinson and Martin Impey which allowed us to appreciate all the people who were involved in the Great War. The children were highly respectful during the minute’s silence and were able to reflect on the purpose of remembrance.
Wellington, Doha and Cairo Class enjoyed a fantastic day learning about Ancient Egypt. They dressed up as Ancient Egyptians, served as workers and slaves finishing the construction of the city and they completed important tasks in ancient Egyptian culture, including embalming, tomb painting and amulet making. Thank you to all the parents who supported the event, it is very much appreciated!
