Around the World
We have enjoyed finding out about Timor Leste and learning some words in Tetun. We found out more about the country and had a go at weaving too! You can have a look at our work on Friday when you are invited in at 2:30 to look at the children's work.

The Christingle
Thank you to the parents and families who came to join us for the Christingle on Friday. It was a lovely celebration and the children were brilliant! A special thank you to Revd. Lis and her helpers for the teas and coffee and hosting us to celebrate Christingle.

Christingle
On Tuesday 16th March we participated in a range of activities from the Somerset Heritage Trust.
We were introduced to different rocks known as sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic. We learnt that fossils are made from rock but they show the shapes of prehistoric creatures. We loved playing bingo and making fossil rubbings!
Rocks and Fossils Workshop
Blake Museum
Year 3 are learning about a famous Bridgwater resident, Admiral Robert Blake! We took a trip to the Blake museum yesterday where they have a room of information and artefacts about him. We also explored lots of other historical and local points of interest ahead of Bridgwater week next week! More photos to follow.

No Outsiders
What is an outsider?
Someone who feels left out, who feels like they don't belong and are not welcome. We want schools to be teaching that there are no outsiders because everyone is welcome. A four-year-old understands what it feels like to be left out and does not want to be left out. We need to create classroom environments where no child feels left out; every child needs to be taught that they belong.
Year 3
The Hueys are all the same but one day Rupert knits an orange jumper. This causes much consternation and Rupert is treated as an outsider until Gillespi also wears an orange jumper. Gradually the Hueys learn it's ok to be different.
This is Our House is a story where George shuts people out and gives reasons why: because they wear glasses, because they are girls, because they like tunnels. When it is pointed out to George that he has red hair and could also face discrimination, the penny drops - 'This house is for everyone!' he says.
Beegu gives children an opportunity to explore reasons why the main character, an alien crash-landed on Earth, feels like an outsider.
Some characters in the story think Beegu does not belong and choose to ostracise the alien; other characters try to make Beegu feel welcome. What would we do if Beegu visited us?
We Are All Wonders is a beautiful story about a boy with facial disfigurement who is bullied and dreams of running away.
'What would happen in our school?' the children are asked to consider.
'What would we say if we heard someone being unkind?' We talk about people choosing to be a bystander.
Stereotypes are explored in The Truth About Old People: what is a stereotype, how do we recognise a stereotype, and what can we do if we hear someone being discriminatory?
