Celebrating the Royal Wedding

The children in the Foundation class had their own 'Royal Wedding'.
They made invitations, breakfast menus, bouquets and even a playdough wedding cake. The bride, groom, bridesmaids, page boys and guests all dressed up and went into Church for the ceremony.

 

Zara and Oliver were the bride and groom and repeated all the vows beautifully.

All the children learned alot about a special celebration.

 


'Come in to find the latest information on the sites you like to visit, mobiles and new technology. Find out what’s good, what’s not and what you can do about it. If you look after young people there’s an area for you too – with resources you can use in the classroom, at home or just to get with it. Most importantly, there’s also a place which anyone can use to report if they feel uncomfortable or worried about someone they are chatting to online. All the information here is brought to you by the team at the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre. We hope you like it!'


 
Blackfordby Walking Bus


 

 What is the Walking Bus?
The Walking Bus is the newest form of school transport. The Bus is made up of a group of children, walking with at least two volunteers eg, parents, midday supervisors or learning support assistants.
One volunteer acts as the 'driver', who leads the way and the other acts as the 'conductor' at the rear. The Walking Bus follows a set route, stopping at agreed pick-up points or 'bus stops' in the neighbourhood.
The benefits of a Walking Bus
Children learn good road sense.
It provides a safer and environmentally friendly way for children to travel to school.
It encourages walking, which in turn reduces traffic and pollution near to school.
Children’s general fitness is improved through daily exercise.
It promotes social interaction and independence.

If you would like to your child/ren to join  the walking bus please click below.

Be a Star and Walk to School

The Star Walker Scheme encourages pupils to walk to school, but it recognises that some families live so far from school that walking all the way may not be possible.
