This week

Another busy week in Oak Class!

We had a visitor form the NSPCC who came into school to talk to us about the importance of speaking out and staying safe. We discussed lots of worries and issues that the children can face as well as discussing 'safe adults' that we can share our worries with. We also explored the Childline website and discussed how this can also be a way that the children can share nay worries that they may have. All of the children were engaged and shared thoughtful ideas and questions - our visitor was very impressed!

We have also continued to work hard to prepare ourselves for SATs. All the children have identified key areas that they would like to continue to revise over the last remaining week. They have all really impressed me with their focus and determination!
