Whole School:
Anti-bullying week starts on Monday 16th November. (Theme Break the Silence) To start it off, we are joining in with Odd Socks Day. (Monday 16th Nov only) There is no collection for this, it is simply about supporting the idea that everyone is different and unique.
We kindly ask that children do not bring personal belongings or items from home into school unless they have been specifically requested by their teacher. This is to help prevent items from becoming lost, misplaced or damaged during the school day.

Eastover's Sticky Questions for November
As we move further into the school year, our Sticky Questions continue to inspire some fantastic thinking and discussion across the school. This month, we're encouraging children to dig even deeper into their ideas, challenge their assumptions and consider viewpoints that may be different from their own. Sticky Questions help children develop important skills such as reasoning, debating, listening and expressing their opinions with confidence and respect.
