What a brilliant day we've had at East Ravendale celebrating World Book Day! Every year for World Book Day, our school comes together to work in teams on a range of exciting activities. The children chose two activities to take part in, giving them the chance to mix with friends from across the school and enjoy learning together. The creativity on show was fantastic – from painting potatoes and making LEGO stopmotion videos, to creating edible potions, building fairytale animations on Scratch, making splitpin puppets and designing bookmarks. There was something for everyone! Our Reading Ambassadors, alongside staff, had the tricky task of choosing winners for the most creative outfits, with the lucky children receiving a brandnew book to enjoy. Hedgehogs even had a special visitor this afternoon, complete with a green wart and purple prickles, adding extra magic to the day. A huge thank you to all parents and carers for the amazing costumes and generous contributions that helped make the day so special. Another wonderful day full of wonder, belief and joy, truly showing our school values in action.

Wake Up Wednesday – WhatsApp This week's Wake Up Wednesday focuses on what parents and educators need to know about WhatsApp. From group chats and disappearing messages to scams, unwanted contact and AI-driven content, it's important to understand the risks children and young people may face when using messaging apps. Keeping children safe while using devices means staying informed, checking privacy settings together and having regular, open conversations about their online experiences. Awareness and guidance help young people enjoy technology safely and responsibly. #WakeUpWednesday #WhatsAppSafety #OnlineSafety #KeepingChildrenSafe #DeviceSafety #OnlineAwareness #Wonder #Belief #Joy #LAAT

Children's Mental Health Week – Lyfta Live Today, Rabbits and Foxes joined a Lyfta Live session exploring belonging, courage and resilience. We learnt about Tamara from Amsterdam, whose story of rebuilding her life after a brain injury showed the children the power of hope and confidence. Both classes received several shoutouts from Noel with their answers. We were especially proud of Ida and Emelia in Foxes, who shared their ideas with all participants: Ida said she feels she belongs at Gymnastics because everyone supports her, even when moves are tricky. Emelia explained that we help others belong by following the golden rule treating others as we wish to be treated. All children engaged thoughtfully and respectfully. Lyfta helps our pupils celebrate uniqueness, value all as God's children, and grow as inquisitive learners.
