Bures C.E. Primary School Newsletter Contact us: 01787 227446 [email protected]ffolk.sch.uk Date: 8th November 2019 Big Queson of the Week “What is the worst advice you have ever been given? “ Explore, Believe, Shine ‘The Adventure Awaits…’ A Daring Day in Duxford On Wednesday 6th November 2019 Year 5 and 6 travelled to Duxford. It took an hour and a half on the coach and it was jam-packed with children. When we got there everyone was very exited to see all of the magnificent artefacts. First we went to Hangar One where we were told that we were doing a documentary of all the things we thought shouldn't have been in a museum but should have been displayed in all there glory somewhere else. After the successful documentaries, we went back to Hangar One to see the concorde (which was very exiting). Next we travelled one mile and a half to the land warfare which had loads of tanks. Finally we went to Hanger Seven where all the American planes and artefacts were. In all, the trip was a very memorable occasion. By Harry, Josh and Matthew. RSE Workshop—Tuesday 12th November 1.45 pm or 6.00 pm As I said in the newsletter last week, Miss Moore and I are looking forward to leading the Relationships and Sex Education Workshop for parents / carers on Tuesday. Here are just a few of the questions we are hoping to answer during the session: What is covered in Relationships and Sex Education? What does the law say about teaching RSE? Can I choose to remove my child from aspects of Relationships and Sex education? Will RSE take away my child’s innocence? What sort of resources will be used to teach RSE? When is the right time to introduce our pupils to some of the more challenging areas of discussion such as the acronym LGBT and what it means or information around STIs? Please make sure you attend one of the sessions at either 1.45 pm or 6.00 pm to find out the answers to these questions and to enable you to ask any other questions you may have about this crucial area.
