Our concept for RE Day was devotion. The children really enjoyed exploring what devotion means and how it can be shown in different ways. They were able to relate the idea to their own lives, sharing how they show devotion through kindness, care, and effort both in and out of school. The children also took part in a role-play activity, showing how they can demonstrate devotion to their friends through helpful and caring actions. 

Children explored how air is all around us and takes up space. Using a transparent cup and water, they discovered that when the cup is upright, air inside keeps the water out. But when it’s tilted, the air escapes and the water goes in!

Children took part in a Dove workshop focused on understanding our bodies. The session helped them recognise that everyone’s body is unique, and that’s what makes us special. The children showed great confidence when talking about what makes them different, proudly sharing their own skills and strengths!

We were delighted to welcome Katie Piper to Addison as part of the Kindness Challenge! The children really enjoyed taking part and were inspired by Katie’s message about the power of kindness, confidence, and positivity. It was a wonderful opportunity for pupils to reflect on how small acts of kindness can make a big difference in our school and community.

Topaz really enjoy taking part in cricket sessions, developing their skills in batting, bowling, and fielding. Playing cricket helps children to build teamwork, coordination, and focus, while also encouraging confidence and a love of sport. It was fantastic to see them participating with great enthusiasm!

As part of our new history topic on Boudica and the Romans, pupils used drama to explore key vocabulary. Working in teams, they performed short acts for classmates to guess. The activity was engaging, collaborative, and helped bring our learning to life.

This week, Topaz class completed a Kindness Word Search to remind us of our Classroom Charter. It was a fun way to reflect on words like helping, sharing, caring, respect, and friendship, and to think about how we show kindness every day. It’s been a wonderful week of showing kindness, especially towards our new joiners and new staff .
