Dear Parents/Carers

Thankfully none of the Vikings followed them home but they found out lots of interesting facts about their family lives and more. They also had the opportunity to take a walk through The Shambles, home of St Margaret Clitheroe.

CONGRATULATIONS Well done to our HRSA Singer of the Week: Alice in Reception!
ANTI-BULLYING WEEK: 12th – 16th NOVEMBERThe theme for this year's Anti-Bullying Week is to choose respect over bullying.Following a consultation by the Anti-Bullying Alliance, it emerged that a top priority was showing that bullying is a behaviour choice, and that children and young people can set a positive example by opting to respect each other at school, in their homes and communities, and online.The aims of this week are to help children to understand:
- The definition of respect- That bullying is a behaviour choice- That we can respectfully disagree
with each other i.e. we don’t have to be best friends or always agree with each other but we do have to respect each other
- That we all need to choose to respect each other both face to face and online
We will have a special assembly on Friday 16th November where each class will share what they have learnt this week. Parents/carers are very welcome to join us.
Thought for the Week:Kindness consists of loving people more than
they perhaps deserve.
