5A's Blog

Auntie Armistead has recently been very saddened by the news that some children in school are being bullied

Some of you have written to me asking how best to deal with the bullies, I hope these tips help…….

1) Make sure you tell someone. This may be your teacher, a parent/guardian or a friend. They will be able to offer you advice and perhaps encourage you to stand up to the bully.

2) Keep a journal. Keep a short diary of incidents that happen. That way, when the bully is being dealt with, you have proof of what has happened. This could be in the form of pictures, short notes or even a story.

3) Don’t be a bully back. If someone says or does something nasty to you, it is very tempting to want to say or do something nasty back to them. DON’T! Don’t give the bully any ammunition. When it comes to challenging them, you don’t want to hear ‘Yes I did say that but they said …… back to me”.

4) Raise the issue in class council/school council. Every class should be having class council once per week. Speak about your concerns anonymously (don’t identify anyone by name) This can be fed back to your school councillor who in turn can raise the issues in school council with Miss Ainsworth.

I hope this helps anyone who may be a victim of bullying. REMEMBER- don’t suffer in silence- tell someone!

Take care kiddy winks……

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year children. You have worked very very hard this term and I’m really proud of every single one of you.
I have thoroughly enjoyed our first term together and will look forward to see you all again in January.
Make sure you have a good rest and come back refreshed and ready for the new term!
Hope Santa pays you a visit, and if you see him, remind him to come to my house too!
Ho Ho Ho!!

Well children, tonight is the night we visit the Grand Theatre to watch our Christmas Pantomime ‘Peter Pan’! I know I’m really looking forward to it and I hope you are too! We are meeting at the front of the theatre at 6:30pm…. don’t be late!!

Oh, and don’t forget, use this post to share your comments about the pantomime. What did you think? Was it good? Did you enjoy it? What were your favourite parts?

This week we will be doing lots of fun things in school!
In Literacy the children will be writing up their revolting recipe’s as part of our instructions topic- resulting in a 5A Recipe booklet, available in all good book stores! This will be followed by the new unit on persuasive writing- a great topic!
In numeracy we will continue our work on measurements and watch out for lots of fun measuring activities, including each other and objects around the classroom!
Other topics include javelin in PE, using the laptops for research on Ancient Greece and continuing the Christmas story in RE.
A great week ahead! Any ideas for any activities you would like to do in school children, make sure you post them on the blog!
Mr A.

Well children, I must say the assembly on Friday was absolutely brilliant! I am very proud of you all- you all worked so hard and I’m sure you’re parents are so pleased with you!
Have a chilled weekend off and I will see you all Monday!
Mr A

Unfortunately, due to the size of the files on the video camera, the videos of the class poetry will not be posted onto the blog.
I WILL however, make sure we get some class videos uploaded ASAP!

Well children…

Mr Armistead is having a wonderful time relaxing at Center Pars!

Make sure you’re ready to wok hard when you come back after half term!!

Well here it is…….the long awaited 5A blog!

Not much to say so far as I’m just getting the hang of using it (my job for over half term!) When I’m ready, children will be able to post pictures, videos, messages and even homework help should you want to!

Any problems children’s, parents, etc etc, you know where I am…….

Take care and enjoy your half term!

Mr A…..
