Leo’s Time to Shine, Leo stepped into Mrs Chadwick’s shoes and became our teacher! With great confidence and enthusiasm, he taught Tigers Class how to count and name body parts and animals in Mandarin Chinese. We had lots of fun trying out all the new words, and Leo gave most of our efforts a big thumbs up! As he was celebrating Chinese New Year, Leo also shared some interesting stories about the Year of the Horse. This led us to look up our own Chinese zodiac signs to find out which animal we are. A big thank you to Leo for sharing his Chinese culture and traditions with us!

As part of this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week, with the theme 'This Is My Place', Tigers have been exploring what belonging means, where we feel we belong and the things that help us feel we belong. We sang songs about kindness, played interactive games and created some fantastic personal belonging maps. As a call to action, everyone has chosen one thing to try, such as saying hello to someone they don’t usually speak to or inviting someone to join a group, to help spread kindness and a sense of belonging in school.

 Reception had great fun exploring the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears over the past few weeks. A terrible thing happened in the classroom, and we worked together to solve the clues.  Just when we thought we had worked it out, we found a trail of oats, so we followed it.  You will never guess who was at the end.....

We had a great fun.

Hello everyone, 

Another very busy week here at FMPS!

Safer Internet Day

Earlier this week the whole school celebrated Safer Internet Day.  The children enjoyed a whole school assembly with the Digital Leaders and our Online Safety Mascot WIFI.  During the assembly we talked about the theme of ‘Smart Tech, Safe Choices’ and discussed the different uses of AI.  We talked about how ‘Smart Tech’ such as Alexa can be really useful to us, but we also talked about the importance of making ‘Smart Choices’ when interacting with AI. The children suggested different ways to stay safe by questioning where information comes from, considering if the information is real and where they could access help and support from if they felt unsafe. 

The learning continued back in class where the children took part in a wide range of online safety lessons including tracking their digital footprints, AI quizzes, and looking more closely at the technology involved in using voice activated devices.

Our very youngest learners also took part and enjoyed a very special class visit from WIFI.  They talked about how they used technology and some of the different ways they could use it safely.  The children created their own online safety passports and identified adults they could ask for help both at home and at school.

We all had a fantastic day and really enjoyed exploring the safe use of the internet and especially AI.

Bhairavi's Time to Shine - Today, Bhairavi wowed us all during her Time to Shine presentation as she shared her passion for Bharatanatyam dance and Carnatic music. We were treated to wonderful videos of Bhairavi performing on stage in a beautiful piece inspired by nature, and we also had the pleasure of hearing her sing. Bhairavi explained how dancing has helped her grow braver and more confident, and how this style of music brings her a sense of calm and peace. Thank you, Bhairavi, for sharing your Indian culture with us today.

Hello everyone, 

Once again lots to talk about!

Year 5/6 visited the Life Centre to consolidate our Earth and Space topic. The children had the opportunity to explore the different activities and also take part in two workshops. As well as being able to further explore the topic of space the children also were able to look at activities to do with light, pulleys and levers and solve problems using a variety of skills. The classes thoroughly enjoyed the workshops; one in the planetarium, which looked at our world, space and beyond our solar system and the other looking at real or fake, which asked the to use the acronym FRESH when questioning whether something is real or fake.

Hello everyone, 

Lots to talk about this week at FMPS!

Abdulaziz shared books by his favourite author, Dav Pilkey, during his 'Time to Shine' today. With the support of his friends, he confidently answered questions about why he enjoys reading graphic novels, when he first became interested in books by this author and which book in the Dog Man series he loved reading the most. It was wonderful to hear the boys speak with such enthusiasm about their shared reading interests - Mrs Chadwick even suggested starting their own book club!
