Whilst some children have done their Christmas designs in school, we are aware that some are isolating and have not had the chance.
If they would like to do a design, please print off the blank design sheet below (A4 size) and ask your child to get creative! There is also an ideas sheet and useful things to remember/hints to help.
Once completed please place your child’s design sheet in the green drop box at the external school foyer (open at drop off and pick up only) by Monday 19th October 2020 so we can quarantine the designs and send them all for scanning.
If you can’t print off the sheet, there are blank copies in the drop box. Please email [email protected] if you have any queries and we will do our best to help

On Friday 9th October, the Year 5 children received a very informative talk from the Police about 'Stranger Danger', 'Road Saftey' and 'Social Media'. PC Barron and PCSO Scott delivered many important messages about: not talking to strangers, safe places to cross when walking home and the importance of being seen on the roads when cycling. They spoke to the chilren about age limits on social apps/games and also discussed with them, the importance of keeping their passwords safe and thinking carefully about photos/ messges they post online. The children asked some really sensible questions and were a credit to Vernon.

Last week, we marked 'World Mental Health Day' by taking time for ourselves. We started off the afternoon with a short medication session and took time to reflect on our day. The children then explored several happiness quotes and came up with their own ideas.
We were all really impressed with how they turned out and can't wait to display them in our classroom as a positive reminder about being happy and kind to ourselves.
Great work Year 5!
'Burst of Happiness' in Year 5!
Date: 12th Oct 2020 @ 4:11pm
On Friday 9th October Year 5 recognised Mental Health Day. To begin the afternoon, Miss Wildig’s class made themselves comfortable and joined in with meditation, picturing their tree house and what would be in their safe space.
They then looked at a range of positive affirmation quotes and wrote their own secret messages to each other. Using white oil pastels, each child created their own quote which was then passed to a different pupil in the class. With water colours, they painted the paper to reveal their message.

Finally everyone wrote a positive word or phrase to describe each person in the class. These words were then placed in a balloon for each child. They took their balloons home and when appropriate, the children popped their balloon for a ‘burst of happiness.’

Year 5 Letters to Boris Johnson
Date: 29th Sep 2020 @ 6:01pm
Greetings Mr Johnson
Another exiting task in Year 5, involved writing formal letters to Mr Boris Johnson to inform him about school life under the new Covid- 19 restrictions. We asked him questions about Baby Wilfred, life as Prime Minister and also about how he was feeling since being ill himself. These letters have now been posted so it will be interesting to see if we get a reply.

On Monday 14th September, Year 5 became crime scene investigators to solve the clues and work out why there were burnt feathers, wax and a range of other mysterious clues in our playground.

Using the information that they gathered, they worked in groups to piece together the evidence and deduce what really happened.
We discovered that after Daedalus had hatched a cunning plan for him and his son to escape from King Minos, Icarus was not listening carefully. He had flown too close to the sun and the wax holding his wings together melted.
Unfortunately, he plummeted to his death!
