As part of their homework, children were given the task to create posters and fact sheets about their special pioneering personality. Year 3/4 researched about Abdullah Quilliam and Year 5/6 researched about Mansa Musa. Here are some of the wonderful work that were produced by the children.
As part of pioneering personalities week, year one and two were involved in activities based on their assigned person, Diana Spencer. During the week, the children were able to familiarise themselves with Diana and who she was. Our activity included crown making, which allowed the children to make their own crowns using borders and designing/painting/colouring/sticking them with paper, cotton wool, stickers and feathers and much more. The children were inspired to make crowns from Diana Spencer’s tiara as she was a member of the royal family. The children had fun using their creativity skills as well as their motor skills to design beautiful crowns.
On Friday 9th October the children at Evergreen primary school had the opportunity to cast their vote and have a say in who they want to represent them in the school council. It was a difficult decision for them as all the candidates were so deserving. They also experienced what democracy looks like when you have the right to vote and make your own decision about what you believe in. We look forward to counting the votes and announcing the winners soon!
Children from year 3&4 have been engaging in various activities relating to fire safety for this week’s theme- safety week. They learnt and recorded key information about how to stay safe from fires and how to prepare for an emergency fire. The children also created posters of the fire safety rules given by the fire brigade.
Moreover, they learnt about the safety gear firefighters wear and the different parts of the fire engine that is used to extinguish a fire.
In Year 1 and 2 children were made aware of their responsibilities for being vigilant of possible risks in different environments. It was explained that adults will try their best to keep young ones safe but it helps if children are aware of rules to keep safe. Children were encouraged to share any concerns they may have with adults they know so they can be helped swiftly.
Children were asked about ‘stranger danger’, how to understand and spot a stranger and how to react in the safest and most appropriate way without panic. The class teachers acted out a scenario where they approached a child as a stranger, the children were able to identify the importance of not speaking to strangers and the importance of why they should walk away. Class teachers showed all children, who can be a trusted adult if they need any help (teacher or police officer) and if they have any queries or questions at any given time. Children also discussed the importance of road safety, identified road signs, and acted out short roleplays within groups. Children made props in class and prepared amazingly for their parts in the roleplay and wore professional overhauls to represent their characters. Whilst children were working within groups, they interacted with one another and helped each other to be aware of how important road safety was. The roleplays included pupils to act as oncoming vehicles, lollipop lady/man and a walking pedestrian. The children practised how to cross the road by following the rules; STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN.

During safety week, year 5 and 6 researched safety online and began reading a book on online safety.
For PSHE, children were set a task to create a poster/ leaflet providing advice on how to stay safe whilst using the internet and other social media sites. As a class we debated on issues such as personal details and who is it safe to share those details with. By the end of the week, Year 5 and 6 were experts on staying safe online and created some amazing pieces of work! Masha Allah!
We are Going on a Bear Hunt is full of repetitive phrases and the children have really enjoyed re-reading, retelling and acting out the scenes.
