On 7th February all the children at Northmoor came together to celebrate Safer Internet Day. The theme of the day was "Making Space for Conversations About Life Online." This was all about making sure that our children can talk about all the good things about online life and also the bad things and ensuring they know how to ask for help if they see something online that makes them scared, worried or sad.
Children from Reception up to Year 3 were read the story of Hanni and the Magic Window by Mrs Coleman and completed activities like creating their own magic window and playing board games that presented different online scenarios.
Children in Years 4 to 6 took part in an online assembly with Ms Worrall and shared all their ideas on the dangers or the internet. They also then took part in activities in class such as 'The Alpha-Net' and 'Where on the Line?'

News Report - The Great Fire of London
Date: 10th Nov 2022 @ 3:06pm
Year 1 have been learning all about The Great Fire of London. We have been doing lots of brilliant story writing based on the book "Toby and the Great Fire of London". We also acted in role as important people from 1666, Thomas Farriner, Samuel Pepys and King Charles II. We then acted out a news report and asked some important questions and used our learning to answer them.
A baker from a local shop asked us to design her some new bread so we researched, designed and made her some. She even came into school to help us make our bread. It was delicious! We also made pretend donuts for our bakery role play area. We have made lots of wonderful crafts based on the story too and enjoyed acting it out in our small world area.

To introduce our Countryside topic Year 2 took part in a WOW starter. We talked about what we might find in the countryside and focussed on farm. We then tasted some delicious food that may be found on the farm. We tried cheese, blackberries, blueberries, yoghurt and bread. Why not ask about what your children know about food from a farm?
