Anti-bullying campaign at Evergreen

Be Blue, calm and cheer
As Bullying is not accepted here!

Anti-bullying campaign at Evergreen

This year we have decided to remember Anti bullying day as ‘Kindness day’ to encourage and teach children to always be kind and respect each other. We discussed ways In which we could spread kindness through our actions and words. On Friday 20th November, for a small donation of £1.00, the children were invited to wear the colour blue to school! We chose the colour blue because it a neutral and peaceful colour that reminds us staying calm.

Anti Bullying Week – Y3-4

Thursday 19th November 2020

Overall great day.

Students were really happy with the concept of non-uniform and had a great time showing each other their new clothes.

The role play was really successful and posters on Anti-bullying. Children were really engaged during discussions. It was interesting to see their responses to some of the scenarios given to them. Students portrayed a positive approach towards the idea of Anti-Bullying and how to handle it.

They understood the concept of being united and being against bullying and really felt like a team when asked what they would do if they knew someone was being bullied in our classroom.

Pioneering Personalities Week, in EYFS

For Pioneering Personalities Week, in EYFS we celebrated the theme of “My Mother” because as our Prophet Muhammed (SAW) reminds us in this Hadith, she has a unique status:

A man came to the Prophet and said, ‘O Messenger of God! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship?

The Prophet (PBUH) said:

Your mother. The man said, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet said: Then your mother.

The man further asked, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man asked again, ‘Then who?’

The Prophet said: Then your father. (Bukhari, Muslim)

We loved singing the nasheed “My Mother” by Yusuf Islam every morning to reflect on all the wonderful things our mothers do for us. During this week we had lots of fun making lovely cards for our mums. We created flower bouquets for her and amazing gold jewelled crowns because she is the ‘Queen’ in our lives. We especially enjoyed decorating cup cakes with glitter, icing, chocolate chips, and sprinkles for our super-star mums! After all, as narrated in a hadith: “paradise lies at the feet of your mother.”

Pioneering personalities: Year 1/2

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.

Voting day at Evergreen Primary school

 

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!

Safety Week in Year 1/2

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.

  • Children are keen to share their ideas and concerns
  • Fire drill has improved after practice session
  • In class behaviour has improved and children are vigilant about trip hazards/ use of equipment/sharing /tidying up after themselves after eating…
  • Children completed a worksheet “what makes you feel happy and safe” (people, things, places)

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.
