What an incredible effort from everyone this morning at our World Book Day parade, it was a fantastic start to our celebrations. Can you spot your favourite Julia Donaldson character from our staff?

P2/1 have been learning about the Zones of Regulation. This fantastic system helps children understand their emotions and take control of their choices. Primary 2 children used their experience to introduce the 4 different zones to the primary 1 and nursery children, explaining how they feel, what can help, and linking everything the the Colour Monster story that both classes know and love. The children developed important talking and listening skills during the presentations such as speaking loudly and clearly to the audience, and using visual prompts to support understanding.

As part of our commitment to challenging diversity, we have been working on The Show Racism The Red Card national competition for schools. We have been learning about the important role that we all can play in tackling racism and discrimination and the children had very mature and well-thought responses in our discussion in assembly. Here are a selection of the fantastic entries that Longridge submitted to the competition.

For our IDL topic this term, Primary 4 wanted to learn about different countries. We used our digital skills to research and gather information on a country. We then used our creativity skills to create a fact file.

P7/6 have shown how creative they can be this week with their entries for the ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ schools competition. The competition encourages entrants to spread a positive anti-racism message through a choice of formats. Our entries range from pieces of art, to football boot designs and even songs and musical compositions, all highlighting this important issue in different ways. Well done P7/6 and good luck!
