Scholastic Book Fair

All the children worked well in their groups and were a respectful and applauding audience. Well done Year 4!   Photo gallery

Years 3, 4 and 5 enjoyed an interactive experience led by Reverend Dawn and Reverend Lesley about The Eucharist. They were shown and taught about the stages of the service and the significance and symbolism of each part. Each child was given mementos at each station including craft activities as keepsakes.

Thank you to Reverend Dawn and Reverend Lesley for giving up their time to do this for us. We all thoroughly enjoyed the morning.

Safer Internet Day

Next week will see the children of Monksmoor Park join thousands of others across the country to celebrate and take part in Safer Internet Day. Each year has a different focus that covers an online issue or theme that speaks about the things young people are seeing and experiencing online. As a school we understand the importance of being a responsible digital citizen and we hope that day supplements the work that they carry out during the year as part of their Computing and PHSE lessons.

This year Safer Internet Day will be focusing on change online, this includes covering:

• Children’s perspective on new and emerging technology
• Using the internet to make change for the better
• The changes children want to see online
• The things that can influence and change the way young people think, feel and act online and offline

Safer Internet Day - ‘Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online’.

We were honoured to receive a certificate from Holy Cross Church for our Nativity Shepherd Snowman made out of willow and individual pieces of Christmas art.

This was the second year that we created a whole school art project for display in Holy Cross at Christmas time. We really enjoyed being led by Mrs Davis who was coordinating the project. Her boundless enthusiasm and creative inspiration always sparks a light in the children. Thank you Mrs Davis for your hard work from half-term through until Christmas.
