This Week at Titchmarsh...
Hello everyone,
Thank you for looking on our website and for supporting our school. We hope you like our new look website!!!
NEW FOR THIS WEEK: Following the Prime Minister's announcement this evening, Titchmarsh Primary School will be closed for the foreseeable future under the new lockdown arrangements, except for children of critical workers and vulnerable children. There will be some changes to the arrangements commencing on Monday 15th January - please look out for the explanatory letter - thank you.
Well-Being Week 1: GIVING – Doing kind things for others
- Write down what you could do today to be kind and give something to someone else. It may be simply to thank someone for what you might usually take for granted. It may be a simple as giving someone a smile, a gesture, a kind word or some encouragement. How does that make you feel? How does the other person respond?
- Ask the other children you are with online or in class what they could do for someone today and then afterwards ask them what they noticed. What did you find? Did you find the same as your classmates?
- Help someone who is struggling and let them know that you care!
- Write down a way you could be kind and give within your family at home, or even a phone-call to a family member or friend who might be on their own. If you make a phone-call, ask an adult at home for permission.
We will update these every week! Let us know how you get on!
Keeping Safe Online - please see our Newsletter section for an information guide to support parents regarding TikTok. Please also see the leaflet from the police regarding scooters.
Our playground is looking amazing!! Thank you to Miss Willis and Mrs Skerritt for organising these for us! We have a race track and car park for Owlets, phonics spots for everyone, a jump track and a football skills trail!!
We're also really excited to tell you all about our Big Write for Black History Month. This year, we chose 'Bold Black Women' as our theme and each class chose an inspirational woman to study. Owlets chose Rosa Parks, Year 1 learned about Mary Seacole, Year 2 found out about Ruby Bridges, Year 3 chose Katherine Johnson, Year 4 learned all about Tessa Sanderson and Years 5 and 6 were inspired by the life and works of Maya Angelou. We all wrote factfiles and reports then made a video celebrating the lives of our chosen person and the whole school voted on who they thought had made the greatest impact and contribution. Having learned about all these amazing women and their contributions, it was a very close contest and the vote was won by the Owlets' presentation on the life and achievements of Rosa Parks. Well done to everyone for working so hard on the Big Write and to Mrs Campbell for organising it!
Thank you again for supporting Titchmarsh Church of England Primary School! Stay safe and we look forward to seeing you very soon!
Mr Carlyle, Miss G and all the Titchmarsh staff team.
