St. NicholasCatholic Primary School

Year 3 have had a very informative afternoon based on Victorian children working in the mills. The jobs were very dangerous. We also had the opportunity to visit Victorian homes and saw the difference between a poor families home and a mill owners home.

Year 3 have had an interesting morning playing Victorian children going to school. The teacher was scary and strict, not like the ones at St Nicholas. We got to write with dip pens and ink, which was very difficult. We even had to pay to go to school, can you believe it! We're looking forward to the afternoon where we get to find out what it was like to work in a Mill as a child.

Yesterday, PCSO Luke taught UKS2 all about the dangers and realities of hate crime. 🚫The children learnt how to be aware of what hate crime can look like and how we can combat it. This assembly supported our continued learning about our Protected Characteristics. Thank you PCSO Luke for a fantastic, informative assembly! 👍

Year 3.4 experienced a Victorian classroom today, it was very different to what they are used to at St Nicholas'.

Year 3.4 have had a wonderful morning learning about Victorian life in a mill. We definitely wouldn't want to work in a mill at 5 years old. 👧🏼🧒🏾

Memories Monday! We welcomed Guide Dogs into school for a special assembly, where we learnt how Guide Dogs support people with sight loss, the incredible charity work they do and the difference between a dog working and a dog off duty!🐶 As part of our learning about protective characteristics, we explored the importance of inclusion, equality and understanding the challenges faced by people with visual impairments. 🐾 Year 5 then took part in a hands-on workshop, trying everyday tasks blindfolded and practising walking with a guide dog handle to experience how the guide dogs help their owners navigate the world around them. 👣🌎 This was a fantastic opportunity to build empathy, challenge misconceptions and celebrate the amazing partnership between people and their Guide Dogs Thank you to Guide Dogs for a wonderful visit!🐾💛 #guidedogs #protectivecharateristics #inclusion

Year 5/6 have been busy being reading fluency coaches! 🌟The children have been assessing each other, focusing on accuracy, pace, expression and intonation 📖🗣
